My current system setup consists of three drives: Samsung EVO850 512gb (system), Seagate ST1000DM003 1tb and WDC Green WD10EACS 1tb. I have a problem initializing WDC in High Sierra 10.13.1. When OS boots up, I get "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer":
Clicking "Initialize" brings up the Disk Utility app, but there's no WDC listed. I'm using AHCI for all drives and both Seagate and WDC are meant to me used as storage for macOS and Win, so both are exFAT formatted. Seagate works perfectly, but WDC won't. I've tried switching SATA channels for those two, and nothing changes (Seagate works, WDC still unable to initialize).
According to System information report, WDC is recognized by OS, but partition map type has been reported as unknown. Here's how it looks:
And here's the report for Seagate:
Since both drives are exFAT formatted, it's obvious that macOS has some problem initializing WDC, and it has nothing to do with bios settings. Are there some kext for WDC, required to make it function properly in macOS?
