Everyone, I just purchased 3 WD My Passport Ultra 3T usb drives that I had hoped to use for archive files for some digital images.
Looks like WD has made it difficult to use for Linux. The google searches that I did stepped me through mounting it on a Windows 10 system and then formatting it with nts. Unfortuantely, when I tried to connect it to Fedora 24 I am still not able to recognize it to mount it. All of the /dev/sd* entries were the same before and after I plugged it in. Smartmontools appears to recognize it when it is plugged in a usb port, but pauses and does not finish its execution to completion. gparted scans all devices and does not finish when the drive is plugged in a usb port. Has anyone in the group figured out how to use these drives? Thanks for you help!!!!
