Why does my internal sata drive not show up after restart?
I run a dual boot system (Mavericks / Sierra), both on a dedicated internal SSD in a cheese grater Mac Pro 2009 (Firmware 2010). I bought a new internal HDD (Western Digital WD Black 4TB) for Libraries / Samples.
After starting the Mac all disks show up, but if I choose to restart from the other system-drive the Western Digital Disk doesn’t mount and it’s not shown in the disk utility, too.
I have to shut the Mac down. Then after rebooting all disks are back again. Also, if I do a restart but not changing the startup disk the disk comes up without problems. So the problem only occurs by doing a restart by switching the system drive.
Previously I run in the same drive bay a 1TB WD HDD with 1 TB without problems.
Does someone have any advice how to fix this issue ?
Thanks in advance and all the best
Mac Pro 2010, MacBook Pro
Are you sure you have Sierra Vs High Sierra on your system?

You flashed the EFI from 4,1 to 5,1? Did you ever get the 4TB formatted?

@Dan: Yes, absolutely ;-)
@mayer: I made the firmware upgrade to 5,1. There was no problem to get the drive formatted (Journaled / GUID Partition Map)

Did you do the upgrade using Dos Dude method or another way?

I did the firmware upgrade using the "Mac Pro 2009-2010 Firmware Tool"
