My guess is your cable has that USB 3.0 micro 10-pin connector to the drive at one end, and possibly two USB type A connectors for the computer end. If so, make sure the thicker of the type A connectors is on a USB3 port (if you have one) and make sure the other one is also connected. These drives typically take power from the USB ports and it's possible the drive can't spin up because one port doesn't supply enough power. Try using a powered USB hub if you have one. I've hit that issue before on my desktop (no problem on my laptop...it appears that you can arc weld using the USB ports on it in a pinch). > On 10/31/2016 09:12 AM, Gordon Messmer wrote: >> On 10/30/2016 05:50 PM, Gregory P.
