[QUOTE="James2, post: 1812227, member: 401673"] Thanks Usaora, I tried the rebooting but not the Safe Mode yet. On an old MBP that still had OS Mountain Lion on it the drives both showed like normal. I reformatted them and after that they showed on the MBP with OS Mojave (10.14.2) I reformatted them again on the Mojave MBP to "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". The APFS format types didn't show in the Disk Utility. And they seemed to work after that, they only randomly dismount from time to time while transfering files. Tried this on both USB ports and used different cables, so that feels a bit unstable / insecure for a backup drive. [/QUOTE]
