I have a new external seagate hard drive that I can't access that I need to get files off of. Will this work?

Agree with the other respondant. However, if you have a usb cable, try on another computer. The starTech sata IDE cable should work if the disk is sata IDE.

You'll need to be more specific in order to get a valid answer, but here is an answer based on the info on your question: Maybe. If it's a standard SATA drive with no encryption then you should be able to get the info. Is something wrong with the new drive?

As long as the hard drive itself is not damaged, then you should be just fine. If the problem is the operating system or something where you can't boot your computer to access the files, then this product should work great for you. I have used it on about 4 different hard drives and the only time it did not work was when the hard drive itself was damaged. The other 3 times, it worked just fine. It was WELL worth the money I paid for it.

I have no idea. I would call Seagate. They were great when I called with questions.

I only know it works good on my old Samsung drive but will not work on my WD drive, WD requires some kind of support software that is not available.You are on your own with the Seagate.

Should be fine, this is a hardware connection to the Hard Drives there is no software or drivers to load.

I have the Seagate 2tb and I also run Windows 7 and it just asked me to upload an out of date app but it works. That's all I can tell you.

This is USB 2.0... usually one cord provides the connection and the 2nd provides the power. Basically this is 1 cord with 2 ends, the power connections on each of the 2 ends are connected to give me 1-2 amps instead of the usual .5-1 amp of power you'd get from a usb 2.0 connection. It will work if your seagate drive doesn't require an external adapter or NEED USB 3.0If your external drive is USB 3.0, it either comes with it's own power cord, or should be able to run off a USB 3.0 connection

I think it will work, I also had an external drive go bad. I took it apart and this worked, like a champ.

Yes, you can use Seagate or any other external hard drive with Mac's Time Machine. As you already may know when shutting down the computer, you must first eject the external hard drive first. You place your mouse on the hard drive Icon and right click and a list drops down saying eject. Here's the thing, sometimes the time machine is busy doing something. You can force eject but this seems to damage the external drive somewhat. Mine will occasionally stop working. I must then reboot the computer and everything is fine.

It should recognize is, there should be an updated drive to view it. Check the Seagate website for that.

Depends on what makes the drive not accessible. If the drive is not accessible (not booting up) because of bad Windows files, then perhaps you can access other files that may be alright... If the drive has internal hardware or sector damage then probably not...

Not sure... I had been trying to get some data off of the exact hard drive from a Seagate External HD and as a last resort for the girl, I had bought this to swap out boards. I wasn't successful but the drive I bought has been a good one. I stuck it in another build. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

Well once it is complete you can navigate to the seagate drive through finder and try to open the files to verify they are there. How it is done? I still have not gotten it to work, but seagate sent me some info because I have had trouble. Check seagate's website.

Any external USB hard drive can be used via the USB ports, the seagate HD is necessary to for the "convenient" slide in interface (it still leaves both USB ports open)

There is nothing on the device itself. You will be prompted on what to do when you attach it to your computer via USB cable. I had trouble with my set up, and ended up calling Customer Service at Seagate. A very knowledgeable and helpful guy talked me through what to do. I allowed him access to my computer, and we got all the bugs worked out. I'd say if you are stuck, go to their website, and call Customer Service.

Drive is about to fail. Try to recover data and send in to Seagate for a new drive.

Yes it does, but first you need to download updated drivers from the Seagate website and drop it into the drive and restart.

Yes. Plug in to a USB port. The driver will load. Open your file manager and move your files to the new drive.
