Hi there, I want to backup my Readynas to an external HD and therefore want to use an WD red 3TB (as it is compatible to the Readynas for maybe later upgrades) within an external USB3.0 enclosure. ...

sorry for confusion.
working:
- wd red 3 TB with usb-sata-adapter on the laptop
- Seagate Barracuda 1 TB within said external enclosure via USB to the laptop
not working:
- wd red 3 TB within said external enclosure connected via USB to the laptop
not tested further:
- wd red 3 TB within external enclosure connected to the Readynas
The question was, what external enclosure is knwon to work with the 3 TB WD red at least on a laptop.
Thanks!
