It's shown as 4TB drive with one partition in linux. I managed to find power adapter or NAS, pluged HDD in and it works flawlessly. Thanks everyone for helping 😄

Hello everyone. I got WD Red plus 4TB and when I connect it using rack for external hard drives, it's showing as two separate HDD's in disk management. 
I also installed Ease us partition master, and it's seeing it as two hdd's as well. Does anyone has any solution on how to make it appears as one?

HDD is pulled out of QNAP server.

It was likely partitioned (possibly mirrored to itself?), which would effectively make it appear as two virtual drives to a system. Do the combined capacities add up to 4TB? If so, you likely only need delete the two partition allocations and create a new single one for the full capacity as a single drive, then reformat the new partition to full capacity as a single drive. However, if there's any data on it that could be needed later, back it up before doing this. It will not be accessible afterward.

 

FYI, if this thing was pulled from a server of any kind and was under such use for any notable length of time, it could have tons of hours on it, and hence I wouldn't trust any truly critical data to it without a known good backup.

I don't badmouth others' input, I'd appreciate others not badmouthing mine. *** More below ***

It might have been formatted in a manner that got around the MBR 2TB limit. Converting the disk to GPT will likely fix this.

Capacities add up to 4TB, but they are not shown as two partitions, they are shown as two separate Hard Drives.

If it's what I'm thinking, it's technically the same thing. When a single drive's total capacity is split to two virtual partitions, it will appear to the system as two separate hard drives.

 

Example... I just bought a brand-new 6TB WD Black. Let's say I wanted to use 4TB for movie / music storage, the other two as a working partition for documents, video editing, etc.

 

I would set up one 2TB partition, so as to use the first available drive letter (C:, or D: with an existing boot drive).

I would then set up a second 4TB partition, which would use the next available drive letter (D:, or E: with an existing boot drive).

 

I would then format those respective partitions to the shown capacities, which then effectively makes my 6TB single drive appear to the system as two drives, one 2TB, the other 4TB. Likely that is how your WD Red is set up.

I don't badmouth others' input, I'd appreciate others not badmouthing mine. *** More below ***

Can you explain a bit more about this? I'm not exactly fully up to date on the latest and greatest, and seeing as I am about to start a new build with a 6TB drive, this might be something I need to be aware of.

Here are screenshots from disk management and ease us software. I converted one MBR partition to GPT and still can't make them show as one device.

I have another WD red plus which is 8TB, and it's doing the same.

As you can see, It shows bunch of partitions on disk 1 in disk management, but ease us doesn't see them.

I've got some news. I managed to delete all partitions on disk 1 using Acronis. Now it's shown as two separate HDD's without any partitions, it just says unallocated. 

Anyone got any idea on how to merge them so it can be shown as one device?

You mentioned it came from a server. Is it possibly hardware encrypted? If so, this could be a headache you don't want.

It's not encrypted. I bought qnap server from a friend while ago and used it for few days, then I moved to new apartment and didn't use it anymore. I lost power adapter so I can't turn qnap on. I want to make HDD as one partition so I can sell it.

@An0maly_76 Check this. It shows one partition as 3.63TB (That should be entire HDD) but then it shows another one (1.63TB).
I only have SSD and this 4TB HDD connected.

Sounds like one partition is highly compressed. Interesting. I'm no expert (hail from the days of pre-Windows MS-DOS), but I thought this might be a simpler solution.

I'm starting to think that this problem might be because of some limitation of external enclosure for HDD... I'm installing windows on my old desktop machine and will hook it up directly to mobo to see what happens. 

I will let you know if the problem is solved or not.

I hooked HDD to the mobo via sata and booted to live linux. Using gparted I successfully formated HDD and now it shows as one device. I think the problem was my HDD enclosure (but I can't tell for sure because I don't have spare SATA cable to connect both of my drives and boot to windows.

3.63 and 1.63 doesn't add up to 4tb...

I was once asked, is it possible to make hdd, to show as 2 separate drives everywhere. (like yours situation) Is there a way to do that intentionally? I'm curious

I think it's possible. If you have drive that is over 2TB, try to set it up as MBR instead of GPT. That was one of the problems that occured to me.

They don't (didn't) add up to 4tb though, closer to 6tb. I am very confused how that is possible on a 4tb drive...

My guess is that the external adapter presents the drives as a separate device every 2TB, giving each device as [drive size - 2TB*n]TB in size, expecting an MBR OS to only be able to assign 2TB to each device, so you'd get [drive size/2TB] partitions instead of not being able to access some/most of a >2TB drive.

 

Because new OSes can see/understand >2TB, in theory the first device should be the entire drive, if you were to use the second device, you'd probably be writing over the tail end of the first device's drive space.

That doesn't make sense though since one drive shows up as the correct 3.63tb size, which is what a formatted 4tb drive should be.

I have no idea, I assume it was because of my old HDD enclosurem it was crazy. At the end I booted live linux from usb and hooked HDD to some old desktop I had laying around and formated it and it worked 😄

 

EDIT: English is not my native language, sorry 😄
I wanted to say that 4TB did add up to the first partition. I have no idea from where the other 1.63TB partition showed up

we can see it as 2 different drives with 1.99TB and 1.63TB capacity in GPT.
So it's not the MBR limitation. 

Will try to search for it in my free time. If i find something i will write here.
