[QUOTE="funkuncut, post: 1906499, member: 410843"] Thanks! The originals were WD Caviar Green ( no longer available) and the new replacements are WD Blue. I have also researched and read around, and it seems that some people successfully replaced the originals with two 2TB or even two 3TB drives with no problems, while others had problems. I have tried installing the WD Drive software, but it just doesn't work at all with High Sierra, and I have read mixed reports of it anyway. I just don't want to waste the enclosure, and I don't really want to replace the failed drives with used ones of the same size - I'd like more capacity, and used ones are likely to fail soon anyway. It looks like a fight against planned obsolescence, and I wonder if anyone knows how to win this small battle. I am thinking that it must be either a software barrier or some sneaky hardware trick, but either way someone must have cracked it! [/QUOTE]
