Has anyone with a WD NAS formatted drives for another system?
This is a total longshot. I moved away from a WD My Cloud EX4100 w/ 3x WD Reds to a new box. I bought two more drives for the new one to make the move easier. After the move I took the drives out...
This is a total longshot. I moved away from a WD My Cloud EX4100 w/ 3x WD Reds to a new box. I bought two more drives for the new one to make the move easier.
After the move I took the drives out to format them only to find that each 4TB drive shows a partition of 1.8TB on any other system (diskpart with W10 LTSC, Disk Utility MacOS, and GParted with Ubuntu.) Inside the EX4100 the drives show their full capacity.. and I just don't get it.
I reached out to their support, but I don't expect much of a response.
Anybody have any idea why the heck this could be happening? This seems crazy. I don't mind buying more drives, but it seems like a waste when I've got 12TB just sitting there.

Rounding out my
year in reviewposts with something not media focused: what were your personal highlights for 2021? This can be anything that was great for you: a success, a milestone, an achievement, a fond memory, a new love, etc. What were the best things that you did or that happened to you this past year?I know this was undoubtedly a difficult year for many of us, but I do think there's worth in looking back and panning the past year for gold, even if it's hard to come by.

I'm not sure if posts like these are allowed on Tildes and I usually don't do those but Prey is one of my favorite AAA games of the past decade so I couldn't resist posting. It's crazy they're giving this out for free!
Basically, this is System Shock 3 in anything but name. It has all the FPS/RPG elements, the space horror and enough new ideas (which I try and not spoil but any trailer/review should give you a taste) to make it more than just a nostalgia trip. I can really, really recommend it to people who are looking for a big game with lots of ways to play and intense emergent gameplay. Newer games in a similar style include Bioshock and Dishonored, so if that's something you like definitely check it out!
