I am running xubuntu. I got it to work eventually. You need to install gdisk and reformat the whole drive as an EFI volume then you can create your desired partition in gparted. I was hoping I could just use it without reformatting but that's not the case.
I looked through most of the 28 pages so far but have yet to find an answer. Is there any way to mount a 3TB volume in the drive cages?
So far mine only works when connected to USB, not the SATA backplane.
