    Seagate Expansion 1T Hard Drive

    I have been using a Seagate Expansion 1T hard drive for a few years now. It has been a couple of weeks since the hard drive is not working. When connected to a computer, the indicator on the drive lights up and the system gives the notification sound saying
    it is connected. However, the drive does not show up on explorer. The following message displays in the 'Properties' tab:
    "Device SCSI\DISK&VEN_SEAGATE&PROD_EXPANSION\000000 was deleted." I have tried plugging it into different usb ports, different laptops and desktop computers but find the same results. I have been using the drive on Windows 10 regularly without
    any hassle until now.

    Seagate Expansion not connecting

    My Seagate Expansion Portable Hard Drive was working fine until a month or so ago.

    Computer no longer seems to be able to find it.

    Tried all the posts relating to this problem to no avail.

    I got 19 years of pics sitting in a black-box that I can no longer access!

    Somebody help me please!

    Regards.

    Dave.

    Can't safely remove Seagate Expansion drive connected using USB3.0SS


    I've got a Seagate Expansion drive connected to my PC using a USB A - USB 3.0 micro B cable.
    I'm unable to find any "Safely remove" option, and at one point when unsafely removing I got a blue screen.
    I've tried:

    • The tray. Nothing there.
    • Running "rundll32 shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll", and the drive does not show up there.
    • Looking in device manager. There it shows under "Disk drives" as "Seagate Expansion SCSI Disk Device" and I see that under "Storage controllers" I've got a "USB Attached SCSI (UAS) Mass Storage Device".
    • If I on the device go right click, "Properties", "Hardware", select it, "Properties", "Policies" it has no "Removal policy" options. Only "Write-caching policy" options.
    How do I make Windows understand/handle this drive as an external drive that can be safely removed?
