Re: Hard Drive Support

i had dried that several times 😞 but after being on the phone with support for about an hour we figured out my 2TB hard drive is just glitchy and messed (i think its time for it to be replaced) we got my 4TB drive working decently well though

Great to hear you found the cause and a different HD worked. Thanks for the update Nick!
