It works with the dock & I have been able to mount drives here that would not any other way.ģ. Note I have had drives I could not access anyway other than through pre os boot. I would get a single hard drive large enough to cover all the drives you have & use it as a mass drive storage not as a backup but a actual mirror of the other hard drives.Ģ. Ok putting myself in your position, this is what I would do.ġ. I would not consider or recommend reformatting ever unless it absolutely necessary. To check the drives partion if you get it to mount, disk manager will tell you if it is GPT or MBR. Have you tried just a single drive at a time in dock?

If you are having problems on other systems it could vary well be the dock or HDD failing, I would say since you have been running it that hard drive mismatching is not the issue, I have had HDDS that just would not work together.

Yes I understand completely about losing data! Worst nightmare! I'm grateful for any and all help, but beginning to feel like there's a massive pit in my stomache. As a linguistics student, I need access to it. Considering I got away with it for months would it be a stretch to assume it's not the harddrives themselves? I have a good 300gb+ of language resources on one of these drives and it's my only copy. I'd kill to be able to transfer them over to my external.īest case scenario would be buying a new docking station and having no more issues. it's definitely an issue with either the docking station or the drives, rather than the laptop itself. Will a repartion cause me to wipe my files? I just tried connecting them to the other laptop, and while I swear it worked fine earlier, I'm now having the same issue there. As per the question of what type of files, it's just a bit of everything. I did backup the most important bits, but I still have plenty to lose since I didn't finish my backups. My worst nightmare is losing these files. I've been accessing these harddrives daily on this laptop for the past 7 months or so. See, what really baffles me is why I'm suddenly running into these issues after this long if it's incompatible. How can I tell whether it's GPT or MBR? Can I even repartion them without being able to access them? I'd be a bit paranoid of them disconnecting mid process, I imagine that could make things worse. You can repartion from mbr to gpt, but not back from gpt to mbr. My concern though is even the new dock might still have a conflict & same issue. Which leads me to believe that is why it is looking for a virtual drive. GPT is used in large drives it is the new standard with better boot recovery & less crashing while MBR is limited to max size of drive it can use with out setting up a virtual drive & tricking the system to think it is more than one hard drive. Yes see that sounds like the gpt & mbr fighting & my apologizes I said file format & should have said file partion both can be ntfs file format it is how the partion structure is different that causes a lot of issues.

I'm not very experienced with the technical side of things.

I'm confused and not sure how to get these two working together again. My primary laptop is still able to use other devices perfectly fine in all usb ports. I can still use the docker on other devices. But it's still terribly slow if I try to run anything off of them, and they always go back to being completely inaccessible within half an hour. In that case, they'll flicker in and out of detection, and after a minute or two I'll be able to access them. A couple hundred gb each.Īnd now I find myself unable to access the docker drives I've recieved a couple errors every now and again whenever I plug them in, but for the most part they just won't be detected at all. I was pretty impatient about it, usually had 4+ transfers running at once. Probably 10 tb worth of transfer overall.

However, I spent 3 days transferring files around, from my pc to the drives, from the drives to the pc, from one drive to another. I switch out my hdds a lot, but I've always been careful when doing so. I have a a dual docker that I've used for the past two years.
