16384GB partition on 3TB, Windows 10.0.19043.1237
Hi,
Bought a new external drive enclosure to use with an existing drive, for backups. The external enclosure is USB 3.0, 3.5inch SATA iii backward compatible, S355U3. The hard drive is a WD30EZRZ, 64 mb cache, 3TB, 5400rpm.
In Windows explorer, the drive is not visible. In Disk Management the drive is visible but report a 16384GB partition. The usual right click options are greyed out.
In Diskpart, when the disks are listed (lis dis), the size is correctly reported as 3TB. When I view the partition (lis par), the partition is 16384 GB. As an internal drive, it all is normal. Data can be viewed, sizes ok, chkdsk clean. Put it back in the enclosure, same error. Tested the enclosure with another drive, same thing.
Suspect faulty enclosure, any other ideas?
