Hi,
New user here - I have recently purchased a Multidock 10G for use with a music studio based around Windows 10.
I have it set to divide the drives between two computers but currently only the A drive is connected, it contains two SSDs. The first is a Samsung EVO 860 4TB and the second a Samsung EVO 860 2TB. Both are formatted to NTFS as they came from other systems. I am aware that he manual says to use ExFAT so one of my questions below is based around that. The USB-C A drives are connected to a USB-A 3.1 port using a USB 3.1 cable.
When I shutdown the computer off the 2 drive bays start flashing as though being accessed , even though they weren't being accessed before the shutdown and the lights were off. This continues indefinitely (at least overnight) regardless of the computer being shutdown. When I boot the Windows 10 PC in the morning (with the drives still flashing on the Multidock) the drives do not remount. I have to either cut power or the USB connection to the Multidock. When I re-plug the Mutldock behaves as expected with the drives remounting and the lights flashing only when the SSDs are accessed.
The only thing that I can think of out of the ordinary that the drives are formatted as NTFS which is not in the manual) but I cannot think of why this would be a problem. Is NTFS a problem or just not recommended for video production?
Any thoughts on what's happening here or other things to try?
