ESATA hard drive not detected
Hi all ill try describe my problem
I have a sata to esata adapter installed on my desktop but its not spinning up or working my hard drive. The hard drive has 3 ports
Usb to usb
Usb to dc power
Esata to esata
Over usb it works fine but when i use the esata and power cable the hard drive makes a constant ticking noise and isnt detected on windows. Ive double checked inside my motherboard that its plugged into my sata ll port not sata lll. It isnt detected at all by the computer even when i search for new hardware.
This used to work fine over esata on my laptop so it isnt hardware issue
