Hi,
I bought this adapter to hook up a SSD hard drives from older computers I had just to get the data off them. As soon as I plug it in the light goes on. If I go into Disk Managment it shows a drive as "Disk 1" and wants me to initilize it. This is with no HD attached to it.
If I choose either one it says "the device failed due to fatal hardware error" or something like that.
Then if I put a drive on it, it then makes a noise like it saw something but it doesnt power up and no drive appears. Already upgraded usb drivers and firmware.
Any help would be appreciated.
PS - I tried it on different computers, one running Win 10 and one Win 11. Same results.
Then if I hook up a drive I hear the computer make a noise like it sees a device but the drive does not spin.
@Darren DeCarlo Thank you for your patience this time of year. That definitely looks wrong. Our cable/adapter uses an SATA to USB bridge chip insider but it should not return as a drive in normal operation when nothing is attached. Rather, it should show up as a SCSI device. You may contact technical support to see if this is a known issue and/or for a firmware fix, or they can otherwise process you. Since this happens on more than one system I don't think there is too much to troubleshoot unfortunately as it may be a firmware or hardware issue.
Having the same exact frustrating issue.
I desperately need to access this HDD
Any suggestion?
I have the same problem also. Any fix???
@mymailman2000 @Kenneth Newton You should be able to see the data with the freeware program DMDE.
