Having trouble copying file, does this drive not work with front usb ports?

In file manager, you should be able to "drag and drop" a file from your "C" drive (or wherever your copying from) to the Lexar. Your front USB port might not be hooked up internally or the front port might be rated below USB 2.0. Try inserting the Lexar in a USB port in the back of your computer.....should work then.

Before copying file over make sure the files are all closed out before you can proceed

Hard to tell, but if the drive was working fine before putting it in the enclosure, then there's a good chance the enclosure is defective. The quality is pretty bad, unfortunately... Same thing happened to me. I complained and got a replacement. Any chance you can put your drive in a different enclosure, to test it?

The drive itself isn't. But the software being used with it might be blocking it. I would check the regional settings in the software.

Suggest you contact Seagate support. Have had no issues with the drive. Am not using USB interface, connected the device using the SATA connection directly on a Pogoplug device.

I'm aware that the drive works with both USB cables plugged in. However, since the choice is between using up an extra usb port and a usb extension cable (my laptop has exactly two ports: one on each side, so the default cable won't reach); buying a usb hub; or finding a power adapter that will work with the unit, I would prefer to have the extra power cable run to where the drive will "permanently" sit.

I'm making an assumption that you are using Window XP. Vista, Win7, or Win8. If that is the case the USB should be formatted for NTFS. not FAT32.

I had problems with most of the front ports, the only one that actually works for me atm is the 2.0 usb one...

Try formating it in other way than FAT32. I use NTFS, which allowes me to copy larger files etc.

Thanks Dean, the drive was working so the format is probably OK. When you plug in the USB the charge light comes on but the data side is obviously not working as the drive is not recognised. You can hear the disks spinning but they are very quiet. Thanks again for your help. Regards: Brendan

USB likely feeds only the additional USB ports on the front. Device is Sata therefore using Sata for data transfer. Do you have a SATA port free. I didn't because my 6 Hardrives used them. I used a spare sata PCI card

Just as KrellSteel said, works fine once you use Disk Manager on it. I have a 4TB drive, a WD40EURX, and gave it a GUID partition with NTFS, and drive letter for convenience, and it's copying files like a champ as I type. Copying 200GB of data (5% of it's capacity) takes about 40 minutes.

Seems to be limited to USB2.0. Also as someone already noticed it doesn't seem to support large external drives. I wasn't able to get either of my 3TB drives to work. All usb thumbdrives worked though.

Unfortunately, I'm not using USB 3.0 on the computer using the drive. I would imagine it does via USB 3.0, but it gave a "not supported" message using Disk Utility on my current system.

I run a 32-bit Vista system. Formatted a 4tb drive GTP/NTFS, connected via eSata and it is both fast and reliable. USB does not work.

In my case, it's plug &play. I suggest you proceed via My files and tap on the usb drive. Good luck.

I had exactly the same situation and the same mSata drive. It would not work. I contacted the seller and they have sent a replacement board (not the entire enclosure). I have not got round to trying it yet since the mSata is now in my laptop. Suggest you contact the seller.

If you are using an older machine that does not have USB 3.0 support the slower transfer rate can cause an issues such as this and there is no fix. If you are using a USB 3.0 port make sure your motherboard drivers and bois settings are up to date. After trying all this if the drive continues not to perform to your expectations I would exchange it for a different one.
