Using a 4TB WD My Passport 3.0 on a Buffalo TS3400DB60 with 2x2TB arrays. Bought a pair of 4TB MyPassports to run backup of these arrays. First day I plugged them in they worked like a charm. Immediately detected and then backed up what they were told. The first time I ran them I ran them as a full backup. What I should have done as run them as incremental backup. A couple days later I realized my mistake when the USB devices were both full. So, I erased the stored data and was going to re-set the backup type to incremental. However, after erasing them through the Terrastation utilities the USB drives were no longer detected on the system. Thinking I may have accidentally erased something that made them detectable I brought them back to my PC (Win7 Pro, 64b) I restored them to factory defaults. Still not detectable on the Terrastation. Brought them back to the PC and ran a quick format. Still not detectable on the Terrastation. Ran an overnight full format. Still not detectable on the Terrastation.
I've expired ideas of what I can think of to make these drives detectable on the Terrastation -- was hoping someone knows what's going on from the above descriptions. I searched the forums for similar problems. Found some that sounded similar but never saw anyone get a response of something that made it work.
Any ideas out there???
