Currently, only 1 or 2 FATs are supported, not 0.
The new drive shows up on the desktop as:
"Seagate Expansion Drive"
I tried the same thing on F30 with the same result.
Can someone tell me what's going on?

Hi Paolo,
It is probably formatted in NTFS.
For the sake of the archives, I've just bought several ones too (the
5TB model), they are seen by gparted as exFat. Reformatted to ext4,
tune2fs'ed and put in production.
gparted is our friend.
