[QUOTE="leeskeys, post: 1952604, member: 425170"] I've continued to have seemingly random occurrences of this issue. Then I decided to re-route the input from the WD black. Instead of plugging it directly into a port on the Mac Mini 4, I plugged an Anker USB hub with 5gbps transfer rate into one of the thunderbolt sockets. I then plugged the WD black enclose into one of the 5gbps ports on the Anker hub. Now on start up, the WD Black is consistently showing up in my Mac OS. Any thoughts on why it's working via the hub but not direct input into the Mini? [/QUOTE]
