To mine western digital green 4tb and formatted as ntfs gpt DOESN'T SEE IT with anything i try....

And i DIDN'T FIND ANY SOLUTION AT ALLL...

The model that DOESN'T SEE AT ALL THIS MEDIA PLAYER IS WD40EZRX.

If anyone has this hard disk and find a solution to see it this media player please tell it to me.

I try even with completely deleted and unformatted still doesn't see it.

Which player model do you have and how do you connect the HDD?

[fits79]

I fix it by put the 4tb hard disk into a pc and make it shared with the same network.

This is the only way to see the 4tb western digital green hard disk.

If others say a drive works, and it isn't for you, then the issue is likely to  be your enclosures out-dated sata to usb bridge chip.

ALREADY TALLIED THAT MANY MANY MANY TIMES.
So i tallied one LAST TIME.

The western digital 4tb green it doesn't see it at all the med600x3d but the wdtv live gen3 see it normally.

A sample of the Seagate Backup Plus 4TB was kindly supplied by Seagate for testing compatibility with Mede8er X3D Series.

Mounting time = 75 sec with drive 2/3 full

The drive has been tested and works fine and we can recommend this model for use with Mede8er X3D Series.
EDIT: 20 June 2014 - NOT WORKING IF X2 / X3D has PCIE WiFi installed. - investigating

Personally very impressed with this drive and will probably buy one for my personal use

I have exactly the same but for me it doesn't work on my MED600X3D (V 3.0.7). I've tried to convert to GPT, but it didn't works again. How did you manage to make it works?

Edit: I removed my password on the HDD, and it works perfectly now. I can confirm it's compatible with MED600X3D.
