    2.5" USB Enclosure Issues


    Hi im a bit new to these forums.

    I have an issue which is really bugging me, so I bought two 2.5" USB + eSATA Enclosures from ebay, and i fitted two hard drives that work fine.

    When I connect the enclosure to the computer with the USB cable to the Front and Back USB ports, the enclosure starts beeping continuously. But when I connected it to my Monitor's USB ports it worked fine, and even when I connected it to my dad's pc it also worked just fine.

    The USB cable comes with 2 usb's, I tried to connect them both and still I heard beeping when connected to front and back usb ports. When connected to the monitor only one USB is used, and it works.

    One's a seagate the other is Fujitsu. But they work fine if you remove them from the enclosure...

    What we need is the make and model numbers of your enclosures. The actual HDDs that you install in them is irrelevant in this case.

    Did you get any user manuals with them? I can't find anything on the website, other than the name and No product features available.

    A few more questions:

    Where exactly in the enclosures is the beeping coming from?
    Is there a built-in fan in them?
    Can you get a few pictures of the enclosures, including the connections?

    You mentioned "USB cable comes with 2 usb's, I tried to connect them both and still I heard beeping". Lots of external drive enclosures like that need dual USB connections since they are drawing all their power from USB alone. The fact that they work fine when you hook them to the USB connections on your monitor makes me wonder if they are just not getting enough juice when hooked to the ports on the MB/Case.

    yeah and I even tried connecting it to my dad's pc and it worked flawlessly.. So makes me wonder if there is something wrong with my front/back ports but the thing is when I connect an other USB drive into the front/back ports that device works fine.
