    My PC Wrongly Assigns a Driver to my External Hard Drive


    Hello guys,

    I have 11 hard drives connected to my PC. They're all Seagate's Ironwolf 8TB. I use to enclosures to connected all of these hard drives:

    Terramaster 5 bay (5 drives connected to it)

    D5-300

    Mediasonic 8 bay (6 drives connected to it)

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    My issue is that 1 of the 6 drives connected to Mediasonic is recognized wrongly. If I remove the drive and connect it directly to the PC, or use a different enclosure, the drive is recognized. So the issue is definitely with the software.

    Please check the link below. In Device Manager, it shows the drive as "ASMT ASM1352-PM SCSI Disk Device," while the other drives connected to the Mediasonic are shown as "ST8000VN 004-2M2101 SCSI Disk Device."

    When I click on the little USB icon in the taskbar, it shows the unrecognized HDD by iteself.

    My PC is running on Windows 10 64-bit.

    I tried everything. I uninstalled the driver from Device Manager, I looked through the internet for drives and found a few, but none of them worked.

    Please help. Any suggestion will do.

    The drive that is being recognized wrong, if you put it into one of the bays that recognizing your other drives correctly what happens?

    Is it possible all the drives are not at the same firmware.
