this is really strange - I've got this 1TB Western Digital HDD and multiple machines (including an USB3-SATA Bridge) detect this HDD with only 32MB capacity.
I guess the Harddisk is broken and ripe for the trash, but before throwing it away - could this be just a firmware issue?
fdisk:
$ fdisk -l /dev/sdf
