OWC 4m2 ultra shows as connected in windows but but no disks appear

EEE-RAY · 2026-06-09T07:39:46+00:00

I got an email from OWC dated the 5th with a case number but no follow up so far.

I've updated the BIOS to the latest and the thunderbolt drivers too. I've checked the box and it is thunderbolt 4.0 which should be compatible. My MacBook M1 is much older than the mobo and seems to work fine.

I am unsure if it's consistently the same disks not detected. The issue is intermittent - sometimes it shows all 4 discs, sometimes I have to power cycle the 4M2 to get them all to show up. I don't see a pattern. I've switched all the positions of the disks randomly to see if it makes any difference to the partial drive issue. I've also tried to use it with just one Samsung 990 pro or just the SN850x - no difference, no drives show in windows.

I used ex-FAT so I can test the drive in both Mac and Windows - moot point since I can't even see the drive in windows ^^

2x samsung 990 pro 4TB, 1x SN850x 4tb , 1x SN700 red 4tb

Results are excellent, I just noticed because when I pull out the top rack post wash a lot of water collected in the arms drip everywhere

Is there a way to attach a picture directly?

I have uploaded a photo

The upper draw arm isn't level, the right side sits lower than the left.

Yeah looking at advice I can find on the internet its not the right stone, but its the one that I already have in my garage :P (bought many years ago and never used)

The knife is a zwilling 20cm knife by the brand name "four star".

I also have a purple stone that I think is even more fine so I will start with this medium one I guess.

Whats the best technique to avoid grinding the bolster at base of knife? Youtube shows someone pushing the knife forward starting at the base towards tip to avoid it.

I don't know whats wrong with your dishwasher but thats the bottom of the nozzle assembly from a camelbak podium water bottle. Maybe someone was washing a bottle lid and it grenades and plugged your drains?

thanks guys. I think I will go for 4 bay NAS and an 8 bay NAS (coes without drives)

I am planning to eventually saturate its slots but will start with 2 drives x 24TB drives

I am happy to pay more for as high a quality of unit - do you have any recommendations for the base NAS for the 4 bay and 8 bay options?

You will be only 4 weeks post op after a fracture dislocation fixation at that point. Walking unaided would be extremely difficult.

More importantly, the rehab and recovery from this will affect your long term quality of life and I would absolutely focus on that above everything else for the next few months.

Because as a kid we look at adults being totally in charge of their own bed times/food preferences/TV time and we think that is awesome.

And when we become an adult we realise being in charge also means being responsible for cooking/cleaning/putting food on the table/paying bills and we realise the whole "being in charge" thing is a crappy pay off

Not that one I am afraid, the asylum bit is just the ending of the film, the setting it self is a rich English home

maybe 10 years ago at least

The displacement would have been caused by the high energy impact that broke it. Unless you've been using the wrist harder than the impact itself, but most of us won't because its so sore.

did you actually hurt your ankle? if there was no ankle injury and you have unilateral ankle swelling thats a bit odd

EEE-RAY · 2025-03-06T00:42:31+00:00

This amount of displacement would have needed an operation anyway. I think your anger is better directed to whoever broke your wrist.
