• I tested the Latest version

1. 4TB HDDs are not supported in the APA format
2. The log gave you the answer, no such device. Try checking if your HDD is getting enough power and if the adapter used to plug it to the PC (if any) is not failing

Thanks. I'll see if I have a smaller HDD. The drive bay works; I use it with FatXplorer frequently. Could it be a driver incompatibility?

Closing this issue since it's more likely an OS or Hardware issue.
