Actually, I discovered this enclosure can't handle disks this large. When I plug it into a Linux system, the disk size is reported as 1.7 TiB. (On the other hand, Linux was perfectly happy to treat it as a functioning 1.7TiB drive; I created a filesystem on it without issue before noticing the wrong size. So, it may still be interesting that OpenBSD can't read the drive through this enclosure either.) -- James
