    Seagate back up plus 1 tb reloads when I plug in or plug out the power


    I have an external hard drive Seagate backup plus 1 tb working fine with Sony vaio E15136 win 8.1 64 bit 4gb Ram. As long as I change the power supply i.e either plug in or plug out the power supply of my laptop, external drive is re-detected.
    The external drive draws power from laptop.No external power source.
    In case of USB pen drives this thing didn't happen.
    Looking for any solution or explanation?

    1. Is the laptop plugged in when this happens? (could be a power issue)
    2. Other then that, i'd check for any BIOS updates for the laptop
    3. And any firmware upgrades for the drive

    BIOS software is upto date as per official vaio website

I verified the PSU is good. I removed all drives, all cards, even memory. All the fans spin for a moment then nothing they stop. I assume the MB is now destroyed? A GTX 260 has two 6 pin power connectors, since the PSU only had one 6 pin power connector, I thought to try it. MB is Asus P5QC...
Plug in a sata power cable

Can I plug in the power cable to a sata drive (already connected to sata port on mobo), while the computer is on. With that drive connected Windows will not boot (I never have had a problem with the drive before, even when installing windows). If I remember right, a few years ago, I moved the...
Hello all I could really tell a long story here of all the issues I have been dealing with and could provide if requested, but to make this a bit shorter, can we now not just plug and unplug a USB 3.0 drive like we used to with 2.0? All in all I seem to have really screwed up the...
I am traveling to Hong Kong in a couple of months. My HP laptop is from the US. It has an external power brick that takes 100-240V. My question is about the cord that goes from the power brick to the wall outlet. The cord has a US plug. Does the cord also take 100-240V and I just need to buy a...
Does such a thing exist? I sometimes find I need my external drive for like 5 minutes on the road without a socket in sight so it'd be great if I could just have it suck power from my computers USB port. Or even solar power. Obviously I wouldn't power something for a long time with it. ...
