Hi there, I connected perfectly healthy Seagate mini 2 TB USB drive to my Synology DS923+ NAS drive. I moved files back and forth and everything was fine and dandy until I just unplugged a drive and went to connect it to my iMac. Sure, NAS software said, next time unmount drive before unplugging it. But that was after the fact. Mac can’t see it no matter what. In Disk utility it’s there but can’t be mounted, erased, formatted, read or written. What can I do? Will PC be better in connecting to that drive. As of now it acts bricked.

    Am I just dumb? Why would one connect a drive to a NAS, move files around, then connect that drive to another machine? Why wouldn’t you just access the NAS from… idk… the network?

      Copying over a network can be slower if not a high speed link I would expect.

      Fair question, I had large amount of files, photos and videos to move and since NAS has 2 x USB ports I thought why not? Over the network it’s quite slow. The thing worked fine, I left it connected for 2 days and then came up with stupid idea to unplug it and do something with it on my iMac.
