Hi guys thanks in advance for any help.
So i've run out of space on my 3 HDD's, so i've bought a new 6TB HDD and plan to xfer my 3 old ones to the new one. but i can't get the new 6TB HDD to initialize.
i built this system with just minor problems 8 years ago and added all the drives 1 at a time over the years with no problems.
i've been trying to find stuff just though google searches but nothing really helps. only thing i've found is people thinking the drive is bad. i've tried swapping sata cables with one of the other drives so also changing MB sata port and the old drive works so it's not the cable or MB port. when i try to initialize it as both a MBR or a GPT it comes back with "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error"
The drive is brand new, just came in today and manufacturer date is 2/8/18. really hope it's not DOA.
Thanks again guys.
