I've tried this in my testing but this time it seems to have picked it up on the Front USB port. I've changed the BU job to reflect the current connection and am running it so I have an up to date copy of everything I need from the NAS.
Once completed, it'll eject the drive. At that point, I'd like the customer to plug it in one of the back ports to see if it recognizes properly (if you agree). If it DOESN'T, I'll assume the controller for the back is kaput unless I have a different USB drive to connect than the two the customer is currently using.
Does that sound reasonable? Is there another course of action you'd like to take?
Thanks,
