this is really strange - I've got this 1TB Western Digital HDD and multiple machines (including an USB3-SATA Bridge) detect this HDD with only 32MB capacity.
I guess the Harddisk is broken and ripe for the trash, but before throwing it away - could this be just a firmware issue?
fdisk:
$ fdisk -l /dev/sdf

Any Ideas?
Can you post any kernel messages that relate to the drive? – David Schwartz – 2014-01-21T12:23:26.940
@David: At the moment I only used it on a USB-Bridge.. nothing unusal here. It reports 32MB capacity. – mt_ – 2014-01-21T14:09:05.697
