Hi Scott (and everyone else who replied),

As other on the thread have zero'ing in on, it is likely an issue with whatever

Pretty sure that's it. As I look around at what's available, even finding
one now that supports 10TB is not so easy, many top out at 8.
Since I can't yet put the drive in the chassis I have this enclosure
<https://www.amazon.ca/ORICO-Screw-Less-3-5-inch-External-Enclosure/dp/B00GAML7OK/ref=sr_1_3>
on order which will be useful later anyway.
Thanks for the feedback.

Anyone want my existing enclosure? I can bring it to the next meeting. You
all know its limitations, but can't beat the price,
