The only thing that I can even think of is that you are trying to plug IDE drives into an SATA connector. I've had SATA I, II, and III drives in mine, no problems.

sorry to say, you have the wrong adaptor... you have to buy the model for the kind of HD you have...

There are more port options HDs than there are branded HDs. You would first need to specify which port option you are seeking to connect to.

All ide hard drives ive known have been pins on the drive side and just doing a google for photos I found this quickly http://www.microcenter.com/understand_tech/article/harddrive_install.html showing drives I know. If yours is the female socket at the drive side this one wont work. I think ive seen other adapters thatd work but id have to search for it. Ive just always seen the male pins on the drives themselves. Sorry not much help.

Could you plz put the HDD drive out from the device to check if there is problem with the HDD drive? Also plz check the HDD cable is well connected to the HDD drive? If you want to reset the device, you could go to the "tool" OSD menu to reset it.

I've tried connecting a 128ssd drive that is in a USB3.0 enclosure and it does not work. I don't believe the headunit can provide the power needed to power on the drive.This is my findings, as always, YMMV.

to power the hard drive you need a 4 pin molex connector from the power supply. to connect it to the motherboard you're gonna need some kind of IDE to SATA adapter cable since this particular hard drive uses an older IDE connection

You shouldn't have to. Try a different port. And also wait up to 60 seconds for the drive to be recognized.

Didn't work for me. I have an IDE/PATA laptop hard drive and the pins don't match up.

I do not have an answer to your problem, but with both seagate and WD drives I just attached the drive enclosure and the hard drives were recognized.

I just plugged 1ssd and one sata drive. I think two ports are hight speed but I dont remenber. whats the plan with that huge setup?

Have you formatted the drive already? If so, check the power/SATA cables or switch to another SATA port.

The eSATA port and the internal SATA port next to it share the same port -- you have to change the jumpers to connect the eSATA port.

Are you sure that you used the USB cable correctly? You need to plug both USB cables to your computer for the drive to work. One would only provide power, and the other would be used to transfer DATA, neither one can work on its own. As a troubleshooting step, try to use a drive in the enclosure that you know for sure is not dead, if that one works, and the other one is still giving you problems, then it might be a problem in the drive itself but not the enclosure. However, if the drive that you know is working well, still doesn't show up on the computer, then it might be a problem in the enclosure. Hope this helps!

You have to open the back and look at how the first drive is mounted. Make sure there are connection wires available and connect it the same way the other one is set up. If you have any difficulty, check with Gateway or a Computer geek shop in your area.EC

You need a SATA to USB converter with power. Something like: Sabrent USB 2.0 TO SATA/IDE 2.5/3.5/-INCH Hard Drive Converter EC-AHDD

I am not sure. But like you I am also having problems with my hard drive. It has to be replaced.
