We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

question about the HGST Ultrastar He10 (alien.top)

A while ago I bought a refurbished HGST Ultrastar He10 hdd, when I had the money I bought a new 16 TB hdd to get everything I had on the refurbished hdd, now I wanted to use it as an external HDD but I realized that no hub or enclosure recognized it and gpt protective partition appeared in the disk manager, I tried every hub and enclosure that I have and none of them recognize it except the very first enclosure where I configured the ultrastar hdd

This is not a problem but rather a doubt because it has never happened to me that a hdd needs to be formatted every time I change its enclosure. This disk is the only wd I have. I have always bought Seagate hdd

Is this something normal for this type of hdd? Is there a way to prevent only one enclosure recognizing it?

Enclosure issue, potentially with encryption involved. Can't say more without knowing details.
