I bought a brand new Easystore portable 2 TB HD in October, 2017, and just now, 5 January,2018, opened the package and tried to use with my iMac 5k Retina 27 inch, Late 2014 desktop computer, also running OS 10.13.2. Mount Point: Not MountedCapacity: 8TBAvailable: Zero KBUsed: –Type: USB External Physical VolumeOwners: DisabledConnection: USBDevice: disk2s1 Perhaps this is an easy fix but I feel like I’m going insane and I don’t know what to do. I’ve tried partitioning the drive into 7.75GB/0.25GB. “disk2s1” now appears in grey in the sidebar where “easystore” used to be in black. MediaKit reports not enough space on device for requested operation.
I tried erasing it to reformat it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and the message says “Unmounting disk. I installed it onto my Mac properly, but when I tried to format this drive to make it writeable, an error screen says there isn’t enough space available for this to occur. I just bought a brand new 8TB easystore external hard drive.
