To my understanding, if there were a size limitation in the hardware, the drive would not work at all or only be formatable to 4TB (or 2TB, whatever the size limit is) capacity. If that is wrong information, please tell me what other drives would be more suitable for my situation.

I’m trying to use the drive to stream massive amounts of audio samples in a professional Mac workstation, and I’ve seen it mentioned that workstations are one of the uses for WD Gold drives. I am not using a RAID, and I mainly choose RE (and now Gold as a successor of RE) because I want the most reliable drives available, with maximum stability, longevity and performance. However, we really face a very strange problem here, let me elaborate a bit on your points. I understand that you have your doubts like the other members of WD support staff I already have been in contact with. Or, any number of other significant differences. It could be that the drives are 4K drives or larger than 2TB. Incompatibility, by definition, means that there is a design difference that prevents one device from working with another.

Finally, as a drive compatibility issue, if they are incompatible - which is how it’s looking, a firmware update wouldn’t fix it anyway.You need to contact Apple about any drive compatibility issues. I know this might sound bad, but if the drives check out to be fine when tested, that’s as far as we will go with it.That would be a BIOS, or whatever Mac uses for BIOS, issue. Are you sure that there isn’t a drive size limitation on that Mac? After all, 2 TB drives had barely come out around that time.

Booting in Windows (BootCamp) never causes this problem… I guess the problem Hans had was because he used the faulty drives in a raid configuration, which can of course lead to much worse things.

Also only happens when booting into Mac OS (no matter what version). Let’s see how long they’ll play this game, I’ll soon switch to another brand of HDD manufacturers, problem solved.Īlso, no missing files on my side of things here, just missing drive after a reboot (need to shut down and do a cold start to make it show up again). I’m starting to get bummed out because time between their answers is very long too, and then always some wrong information makes them believe it’s not them, which is not helping their cause. This is taking longer and longer, we’re running in circles and nothing gets solved at this rate. Today I got another one of these support failure gems, they assumed I never connected the drive directly to the internal ports of my Mac Pro (which I said from the get go). They keep assuming things I never said, like it’s about a MacBook Pro (while I always wrote it’s a Mac Pro 5,1), telling me those drives are not made for notebooks. Then WD support always tried to twist it so it isn’t a general problem with these drives, but a specific problem to my setup. They’re basically suggesting that it is a problem caused by Apple and that I need to contact Apple to resolve it, but this computer is out of their warranty, so there’s nothing Apple will do about it. I’ve been in contact with WD’s support about this issue for half a year now, and them being pretty unhelpful so far would be an understatement.
