Mobius Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago This is a bit more of a loaded question than you'd expect. We do support usb DAS* we do not recommend using usb external storage and there is higher risk of things going wrong. Also it very much depends on the DAS hardware as well. As a cost cutting measure instead of passing through the HDD/SSD serial number many just tell the connected computer the same generic serial number for all the drives. Those enclosures do not work properly with HexOS. HexOS needs the DAS or enclosure to pass through unique serial numbers for each drive. If the DAS does provide the unique serial number for each drive the enclosure will work. 1 Quote

So my DAS passes through individual drives in JBOD mode, I had it hooked to my win system for a bit while getting to know it. How would you suggest I determine whether or not the individual serial numbers are passed through? Thank you for the prompt and thorough response, I enjoy learning about these kinds of things. I can use my search engine skills but enjoy the personal touch. Thank you for keeping me from a rabbit hole. Quote
Mobius Posted 35 minutes ago Posted 35 minutes ago I believe crystal disk info should show drive serial numbers. There should be a way to view it in windows as well via command line but i don't recall the commands anymore. Just be sure to check if all the drives show different serial numbers. Quote
