Hello Apple and Mac friends, not sure if it has been done before via free software tools but I managed to painstakingly, very difficult (lots of hours and beyond sleep schedule trial and error) put Boot Camp Windows 11 into it's own separate drive with free software tools (still observing) on the hard disk but I plan to upgrade the Mac's to Crucial's SSD because it has a software which uses RAM disk technology (Windows only but God-willing they port to macOS) to preserve the write (TBW) of their SSDs as well make it up to 10x or more faster (depending on the speed of the RAM at least in my experience), however, when I put the hard disk on the USB dock, it's not recognized by Disk Utility, it's not in Terminal (Diskutil List command), not in any Windows partitioning app and the power LED button on the HUB flashes (it doesn't, it's just steady on other drives, SSDs and other hard disks).
This original Apple hard disk is by Seagate, model: ST2000DM001
I'm guessing even though it's a commercially available hard disk, it's been customized by Seagate for Apple to only work as an Apple internal drive (I have yet to test it on an actual PC as an internal drive)?
Thank you.
