I’ve tried both ports but no success.  My 1TB drive was fine in both.  I was using the most up to date firmware, but I’ve since reset to factory settings.

 

Strange that it worked yesterday when I formatted the drive, but not now.  I’m thinking it may just be a temporamental drive that needs replacing.

How did you reformat the drive?  Did you format it in MBR or GPT?  I mean Win8 should have automatically reformatted in GPT, but if you changed it, then that could cause issues.
