    I actually got this from an external hard drive, and I wanted to install it to my own tower. Problem is that somehow it is not receiving enough power to get the regular sata data cable to read anything off of it. What do I do honestly?

  2. W10 File History Not Backing Up Internal Secondary Drive.

    Here is my issue exactly.

    I have two internal drives. One SSD and a secondary 8TB drive containing all my media.

    I have one 8TB External drive as well, which is my main backup drive.

    I use File History to backup my two internal drives onto my external.

    I go into the W10 settings, Backup options. Added my secondary drive (M:\) to the 'Back Up These Folders' option. (also not I added my secondary internal drive to my Library.

    Boom, I hit the 'Back Up Now' button. Everything seems like it's operating perfectly. Except the problem is nothing from my internal secondary drives is copying over to my Backup drive. With no warning either.

    I even checked my event logs and I see this happening:

    File/directory was not backed up due to being encrypted or insufficient permissions:

    M:\System Volume Information

    If you want it to be protected, remove encryption or ask your system administrator to give you access to this file/directory.

    My secondary internal was never encrypted. I simply copied all my previous info from my older drives onto my new internal 8TB.

    Long story short. My File History will not backup my internal 8TB drive to my External 8TB. It only sees my OS drive (SSD).

    I'm clueless at this point.

    Running W10.

    Internal OS SSD is Samsung SSD 850 Pro 256BG

    Internal 8TB Drive is HGST 8TB Nas Drive

    External 8TB Backup Drive is Seagate Backup+

    I have full admin control of all my drives.

    Try connecting it's power to another branch connector from PSU. and not from same one as other disk(s).

    You could check what total power you're new setup requires, All PSUs will supply whatever power (Watts), that is asked for by the hardware but is limited to the maximum rating, This may be lower than the stated max due to over temp protection which depends on case design and cooling

    Power Supply Calculator - The most accurate PC wattage calculator

    This is an independent tool but if you are tied into a particular manufacturer then most have their own tools that can specify a preferred PSU, (it's a reasonable idea to run a few tools to get a better range and then take an average

    That drive uses only 550mA which shouldn't make a dent in PSU power.

    I agree (I added an extra 8GB drive to a power requirements test setup and it added around 20 W), but It could be a Straw / Camel situation - a lot of general usage PCs are shipped with just enough power supply for the standard.

    It's likely to be something else but best to check basics first

    Yes, basics, like if it's connected to power lead properly or at all or if actually that connector has any power. SATA has small connectors and tabs and is easily plugged in wrong.

    I think that you need to find the real reason the drive isn't working. Power is unlikely to be the cause.

    By first post, I'm not even sure power is connected at all, mentions only data cable.

    Hello again, sorry for the wait without answer, I have work during most of the week which keeps me off the computer tower at home. So far, I have taken previous advice on separate power cables plugged in. As seen here however:

    Of note, only the 2 TB hard drive is detected, even with exchange of New Data Cables. Indeed both power sata parts are inserted into both hard drives. This power supply sports over 650 watts with no Modularization, Both the Harddrive and the Power supply are recent installations from a Best Buy I had brought previously over say 1 week or so. May I ask, how may I proceed with the "3.3 v" line procedure?

    Actually the label shows 5VDC at 400mA and 12VDC at 550mA, total of 950mA.
