    old HHD connected by SATA IDE adapter to windows 10 not recognized


    I'm trying to recover data from my old WD 500 GB HHD that had failed I replaced it with a 1 TB SSD. I have connected the HDD to multiple PCs and multiple USB ports both front and back using a SATA/IDE to USB 2.0 Adapter. Both of my PCs run windows 10. Neither one recognizes the USB connection to the SATA HHD when it is plugged in. I look in device manager, disk management, and a downloaded WD Data lifeguard Diagnostic tool for windows - nothing, not even the little USB connection sound prompt. The HHD hums when powered and the adapter has its own SATA to power converter cable so I don't think its a power issue.


    Any advice on how I can get my PCs to recognize this USB connection to my old HHD?

    :)

    IDE with SATA wont recognize

    Hi all!
    I tried today an old IDE i had 3 years ago
    The IDE itself works
    It turns out that the computer wont recognize the SATA drive 1TB i have
    Any suggestions?

    Also, when i formatted with windows 7, it didn't install the updates
    For example, gpu, network drivers, mouse etc

    And in device manager, it even writes it Hitachi 1TB

    HHD question on replacing EIDE with a SATA.


    At the moment this is a bit hypothetical. I have a 9.5yr old Acer laptop that has its original 120Gb drive fitted. The drive says on it 'Enhanced IDE'.

    The Crucial website says that the original storage fitted has 'Serial ATA support' and suggests a standard SATA SSD as a replacement.

    My question is whether you can just fit a modern SATA drive as a straight swap here. Not necessarily the Crucial one as I've seen some good offers on Samsung SSD's, and in any case I wouldn't want to spend much on such an old PC.
