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.
