I was able to get the driver installed and it says it's working properly, but I can't get it to recognize my external harddrive. Help?

Sometimes you have to plug in your external device into the card first and then insert the card into the computer. Also try another device to make sure it is working.

External (non-ssd) drives require a lot of power. You will need to have the power adapter plugged into the card and use at least a 1am power supply. Also if you have other devices plugged into the other port, they consume power as well so you may not be able to turn the external HD unless it has it's own power supply.

Does it recognize any other device that you plug into it? If so, I'm guessing it's ur HHD. If not, try to reinstall. I think the link I provided earlier has been changed but I have the original drivers that I can email to you if you would like?

I gave this purchase a poor rating because I have not yet found a driver that installs successfully... please let me know if you do...THX... Jay

Works on mine, running the same. It just shows up like any other USB External Hard Drive would. Just remember not to force the drive into the case. (They may ship you the wrong screws at first)

I had a similar thing happen to me and discovered that the included cable only works with an SSD drive. It doesn't work with a standard hard drive.

I bought this thinking the same thing. When I tried to do this, it did not recognize the files that were on the USB. So in my experience it did not work.

I used a 2TB Seagate drive, and had no trouble recognizing it in Win 7. Both USB and E-SATA worked ok for me. Have you tried both interfaces? Might want to try connecting it to another system as well.

I am running windows 8.1 (64) on a laptop. I probably loaded a driver that came with the drive, but I did not download anything. I have had no problems at all except that I would like to operate throught a usb3 hub and that is not reliable. I use the unit heavily and highly recommend it. good luck!

Using it successfully with Win 7 home. Win 7 saw it without driver disk use. Don't know re 8.1.

Dear Erin, all hard drives i've installed, never they asked for drivers. Except when i use RAID systems or SCSI, iSCSI HD in some situations.Even if you're Unix, Linux, Mac OS or NetWare.I hope this has helped you.

I had to download the driver a few times to get it to work when connected to my PC. Hope this helps...

I do not know. All that I've learned is that the drives and their external cases are very chipset-sensitive. Probably the case with the electronics is the more important factor. I'd try it, but return it if it won't work.

You can download the driver here: http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=123&sid;=127〈=enApparently this card was also bundled with the WD MyBook 3.0. The linked driver is the one I used, and it works perfectly.

It work with my external HDs, and should be model independent (especially the one that run under its own power (not through USB alone). It also work with the HD that use USB power, but I personally feel that I cannot have a lot of that kind of HDs.

Your DVD has to have the same interface that your hard drive has like SATA and SATA then the external with work with the USB 3.0 like any 3.0 or if the inside interface is a old IDE that means the hard drive and DVD must have that to connect to the inclosure... just plain old horse sence, since does that make cents????AL

You need to download it on your own. search for the driverunder what kind of adapter you have you will find it
