You can try bootmed..see the 2.0.7 download post. This has gparted on the desktop . See how much unused space there is before the ntfs partion when you connect the X2 via slave mode. If it's 7 mib, the partion won't be detected. Some auto 4k alingment software round down..to 7 mib..when the X2 needs it to round up to 8 mib.
I've tried offical 4K alignmenet software..and they all move the NTFS partion to a position it can't be used by the X2 software.

I cannot see the like button on the bootmed webpage and posted it under comments - still waiting for feedback and thus I cannot download it. It also mentions that it is 580Mb in size - can you confirm, because if it is that large I won't be able to download it in any case. |

You don't have enough spare disk space on a PC for downloading and building utility iso's?

Yes, to download. I'm in "bandwith limited" South Africa. I have 1,5GB bandwith a month. Since I started downloading disk utilities and firmware yesterday, I have used just over 1GB of my 1,5GB for the MONTH. Fat chance that I would be able to get 580MB down in one try - we have sooooo many disconnects and server resets etc. etc. If you are really lucky you get 100MB downloaded in one go. I still need to download 2.0.7 as well and that is also 107/8MB if I get it down in the first try. |

 Three CD's worth a month! The rest of take our Unlimited Downloads for granted I'm afraid. We get used to saying, download this...and if that dosn't work...download that. If there is ever an automatic SP upgrade for windows..you could lose the lot without knowing!

I suggest first to upgrade to 2.0.7 - reformat the disk with mede8er setup.
Then after a reboot check if you see the disk size under setup and see HDD under media library.
Update: corrrected mistype fw version.

If there is ever an automatic SP upgrade for windows..you could lose the lot without knowing! That 1.5GB is on a 3G stick. None of my PCs at home were ever connected to the internet yet and I don't intend to connect them either. I use the 3G stick on my work standby laptop and transfer files between them using a flash drive. |

Thanks Maasbommel & jer1956 for all your suggestions and advise. After I’ve loaded 2.0.7 the HDD was “seen” by the M8R and it was labelled “HDD”. I initially copied a few files to the M8R and verified that those could be played and then I connected the MED500X2 to my MED500X’s USB port and started the tedious copy process of 1,8TB. Approximately 3 days later the copy process was completed – so far so good.
Bottom line: The Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 (3TB SATA3) drive does work in the MED500X2.
Thanks again for all the help.

With this feedback therefore means that any Sata_3 drive worked fine in X2?
I walk to buy another disk (to put the X2) and this time will be the version Green 2TB (quieter, consume less power).
The HDD will Sata_2 already being more rare to find in stores. Now it's all Sata_3.
And I'll keep true to the Seagate brand.

@ SuperDIY - Thanks for all the hard work SuperDIY!
I also have a Seagate 3000GB drive (same model). I will upgrade the software on my X2 tonight in order to get it working. Re-formatting for me was not an option, since the drive is already full. Hopefully the Mede8er picks up the drive after the upgrade.
Regards
Stry
