2.5 inch HDD from laptop to external case, is not detected?

I gave the laptop an SSD, the HDD I put in a hard drive case is not recognized at all.

It's spinning, but nothing is displayed in Computer Management either. What can I do?

Have even 2 different hard drive housing tested, as verschienede USB ports on the PC.

Hard drive works when connected directly to the motherboard. There I formatted it as a simple drive.

Is she supplied with 12V and 5V voltage?

Go

The plate lacks the USB interface. Internally it runs directly on the SATA controller (or is an IDE disk?), But externally the data exchange is via the USB interface. And you are missing her.

Fr

This usually has something to do with the power supply that is too low.

Are you about any adapters? Try another cable.

Or hang on to a power bank.

Fr

Of course you are right. She has only one SATA interface.

br

Presumably the power supply is missing.

Ma

The external case is the cable that is blue on the USB, I've plugged into the blue port of the PC, that should have power, right? You can't be different. The case I just recently redone, bought from Amazon. Was well rated

Mu

Quite crazy question - have you ever checked whether the disk in Disk Management may be recognized, but just does not get a drive letter assigned? If power is available and other hard drives work with the case, that would be an idea.

fa

Then there could be some driver issues. Device Manager does not see it either? Or even in the BIOS not recognize?

Ma

Have a photo made, as it looks like here, can only take the cable, which was in the case

Ma

So the hard drive is not usable for such cases?

Ma

Yes, it is detected in BIOS and Device Manager!

Ma

These HDD cases are done, with a cable that was there. You can only insert the HDD, and the cable into the USB port.

You can't go wrong.

Ma

It is displayed in the device manager and in the BIOS

fa

Then forgive in the disk management a drive letter.

Ma

It will not be displayed there.

fa

Upps, I do not know then. Sun had similar problem with external HDD. There was "no drive letter" to blame

br

Then the HDD needs more voltage than the USB port ago, can happen.

br

Is this USB 3.0? Looks like this on the picture.

Ma

Yes, the case is 3.0 I bought new today.

But I have now the assumption that the HDD is defective. The laptop has been newly purchased July 2017. So it's not old.

I just had her on the laptop, because she was even recognized! On the PC via Front USB not. But the audit will detect a lot of bad sectors

br

If USB 3.0, then you have it synonymous s.einem USB 3.0 interface s.PC connected? Has a higher performance

Ma

Yes, connected to 3.0. Without change.

I'll buy an external hard drive, this homemade Klöderkram works as so often not.

And just on a hard drive must be reliable

br

Too bad that it did not help you.

Still much success
