Not recognising USB 3.0

[Antares88]

Hi.

I just set up the Icybox NAS enclosure through the web NAS interface. NAS works fine. But when I switch the USB 3.0 cable with Ethernet my MacBook Pro 2012 won't recognise this external hard drive. Disk was formatted in exFAT format.

Any ideas on this issue?


Regards, Nino!

do you even have the USB 3.0 drivers installed for the external device to be detected when hooked to the 3.0 host chip?

There are no USB drivers on the official product page for this enclosure. I thought MAC OS X wouldn't need a driver.

//Update: I also plugged it in my few years old PC with Win7 Ultimate, USB works fine! Also works ok with Win7 laptop through USB 3.0.

There has to be something wrong with my MacBook Pro USB 3.0 connection? So far, other USB devices worked fine, but they were all USB 2.0.
