Thinking back, I am fairly certain they were not RAID, yes, they showed up separately. Sys Info on the USB attached, shows only my mouse dongle. Unfortunately, I have no other drives to test with, just the two, but they both do the same good spin-up sound you would expect. If it matters, the adapter will not spin up the drives until plugged into the USB port. If I launch DiskWarrior with the drives spinning, it freezes on "searching for disks". The instruction manual says wait 30 seconds and the drive will show up as a USB device, I gave it a good fifteen minutes, a restart... Again, thanks for your help.
