SATA zu USB – Adapter für HDDs mit mehr als 2 TB?

Bei allen mir verfügbaren SATA->USB-Adaptern werden HDDs > 2TB immer als mehrere Einzellaufwerke oder gar nicht angezeigt.

Kennt jemand einen solchen Adapter, der auch mit mehr als 2TB richtig umgehen kann, ohne sie zu “zerlegen” oder ignorieren?

Oder gibt’s Tricks, dies anderweitig zu erreichen?

Per google und Konsorten komme ich da einfach nicht weiter, vielleicht suche ich ja auch nur “falsch”!?

Hello!

For drives up from 2TB, this must be partitioned and formatted in GPT mode, you just want to create a single large partition.

In old MBR mode you can only partition and format drives up to 2TB.

Or multiple partitions with up to 2TB.

In addition, a valid drive letter must also be set under Windows so that this data carrier or its partitions can also be displayed as a drive in the Windows Explorer (or alternatives).

I hope I could help.

I have two 3.5″ HDDs (8TB) each in one Alu housing (USB 3.0) hang on my NAS back.

I partitioned this on my PC via Linux Mint and formatted with ext4.

Otherwise, I run several HDDs with 1TB and 2TB, which are partitioned differently and are almost exclusively formatted with NTFS.

Each adapter can only hold the hard drive accordingly partitioned or not formatted or does not assign drive letters. But I hope you have an external power adapter that you use 3.5″ hard drives.

Make sure you also use GPT partition table and not MBR there you also have 2TB partition limit. The adapter is old or cheap scrap.

Could be that your 2TB hard drive is strangely partitioned, best looking at the Windows hard drive partitioning tool.
