Q: 10. 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.
