Koramor Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. But I recently replaced a 2 TB drive that was in my array, and was planning on reformatting it and using it as an external storage drive. The problem is that it is showing up as 'No Media', and not even allowing me to format it in Windows, and in my Kubuntu, it is not even showing up at all (that I know how to check). I am using https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F7WDZGT?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details to connect them, is that the problem? Quote Link to comment
klipp01 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Is the 2TB drive in question a 3.5" hard drive or a 2.5" laptop hard drive?Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
klipp01 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 If it is a 3.5 hdd then you need this which has an additional a/c adapter as the USB bus does not provide enough power for a 3.5 hddSATA to USB 3.0, Neeyer SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable for 3.5/2.5 Inch HDD/SSD with 12V/2A Power Adapter, 20 Inch https://a.co/d/aNN3mGwSent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
