RAID System Not Mounting - Error (com.apple.DiskManagement.disenter error 49244) So I recently purchased a brand new MacBook Pro (M3 Max) because my previous MacBook died on me due to old age. I went to access my external hard drives which work fine, but my RAID system doesn't want to mount for some reason. It's greyed out, but unmountable nor does Disk Utility First Aid work on it either. Here's the thing- it was working fine last night, but when I did a system update overnight it suddenly stopped working properly (I'm currently running Sonoma 14.2.1) and is now no longer mountable. I have NTFS Paragon installed, but I'm not sure if that's the issue as I've not had a problem with it before but it did have me change some security features so it could access my external hard drives. I thought that perhaps my disk was corrupted in my RAID system, so I unplugged it and loaded it up on a friend's PC to see if I could access the files through a different OS. Sure enough, worked perfectly. All the data is intact and ready to be accessed. So why can't my Mac access the RAID system? I have a TON of data on there that I need access too, so wiping it and starting fresh isn't really an option right now. Plus, the data isn't the issue anyways as it's easily accessed through a Windows OS. I'm not a super tech savvy person, but any help would be most appreciated. This is a brand new computer (literally just got it yesterday) and it's frustrating that I can't access the files that I need.

Click Ignore, choose Utilities from the Finder's Go menu, open the Disk Utility, and use the First Aid or Repair Disk function depending on its version. If this doesn't work, use a non-Apple repair tool or a data recovery program.

FYI, while it won't help you right now, you should make sure to have a good backup of any external media which contains important & unique data. Plus as you are now discovering......RAID itself is not a backup.
