[QUOTE="bleednate, post: 1744746, member: 291086"] Is there a way to pull a log from terminal that shows my external USB devices and their serial numbers? If so, how about if it was last plugged in back in September 2016? I gave two externals o a guy to extract bad data from one onto the other one. He was taking several weeks to get started, then it took a month to reach 26%....haven't heard from him since, and I've moved 8hrs away. I guess good faith agreements and hand-shake deals aren't worth a dime, even for a 50+year old "good ole boy" like him. I'm 37, so I've already formulated my own persona and style. The bad one was a 1TB Seagate for which I have the SN for, however, I don't have the SN for the 2TB Seagate which the retrieved good files were going on. 1. Yes I know it was stupid of me to do so. 2. I would like to avoid any discussions of what a dumb and stupid idea it was of me to do this. (Thanks in advance!) 3. I'm a super noob in Terminal.... Thanks! [/QUOTE]
