Q: 1. BOTH my drives either don't mount, don't eject, or hide files. Using Mojave, tried HFS and ExFAT, no dice. Any suggestions? Thanks!

A: If you are using a hub, try to connect the drives directly to the system. It is very unlikely 2 drives would exhibit this type of behavior. If that does not work, they could be defective and would need to be replaced by WD. They include a 3 year warranty with WD. If you are still under the 30 days from the date of purchase and got them from B&H, you can contact our customer service team for a replacement at cs@bhphotovideo.com.

A: No, you can't use typical drives like the WD 5TB My Passport USB 3.2 Gen 1 External Hard Drive (2019, Black) on a network, as most typical drives will not know how to communicate with the network. For network attached storage you will need to purchase a NAS enclosure, which is basically a small computer housing for drives, that performs the necessary communication with the network for the drives inside. By the way, NAS enclosures also need specific NAS drives for the best performance. See: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=NAS&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ma
