I bought a new EHD (the same model, controller, enclosure, etc.) as my previous EHDs. The new one is 3TB to replace a 1TB that has filled up.
When I plug it in, the standard I have to format it to use it with the hopper message that pops up. When I select Yes, it appears to begin formatting the drive. The message pops up again about three times.
In the end, the flashing stops after a lot of flashing, and nothing happens.If I remove it and plug it back in, I get the same (I have to format it message)
In other words, the format seems to be broken.
I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this yet, as probably not many of you have actually tried to add or format a new drive.
Is there a way for anyone to confirm this or get a message to Dish Tech support so they can look at it? I've tried everything, including disconnecting all my other EHDs, so this is the only one on the USB bus. I'm on Firmware 391
Thanks in advance
