Don't know if it would make a difference, but are you plugging it into a USB3
port? My lab got new machines about a year and half ago, and I knew
machines had USB 3 ports, so I hooked up a 1.5TB usb disk, and got very
slow results. Turned out that only 2 of the 6 USB ports are USB 3, others are
only USB 2. Don't know if there would be a difference in the size of disk
supported by USB 2 versus USB 3.

Everyone,
I just purchased 3 WD My Passport Ultra 3T usb drives that I had hoped
to use for archive files for some digital images.
Looks like WD has made it difficult to use for Linux. The google
searches that I did stepped me through mounting it on a Windows 10
system and then formatting it with nts. Unfortuantely, when I tried to
connect it to Fedora 24 I am still not able to recognize it to mount
it. All of the /dev/sd* entries were the same before and after I
plugged it in. Smartmontools appears to recognize it when it is
plugged in a usb port, but pauses and does not finish its execution to
completion. gparted scans all devices and does not finish when the
drive is plugged in a usb port.
Has anyone in the group figured out how to use these drives?
Thanks for you help!!!!
Greg Ennis
