Hello,

Try to make sure SATA Adapter cable supports HD's above 2TB. This is an issue 
that happens a lot.  

Also, you may need to reformat the HD with GPT/GUIID with the USB Adapter cable 
due to translation of sectors.

Subject: [H] HDD, GPT, & Adapters

I have a 3TB backup drive set with GPT.
I set it up with one USB3 to SATA drive adapter cable.
When I use that same drive with a different cable, it wants me to format the 
drive.

Anyone know what's going on here? Is there anyway to avoid this other than MBR?
