I recently got a new computer, and I'm trying to hook up my old hard drive and SSD to the new one to transfer my data. It's a prebuilt and I can't figure out how to install them directly.
I got a SATA to USB cable, and plugged in the hard drive as shown in the image shown here. It lights up like it thinks it's working, but my computer can't seem to find my drive.
When I plug in my SSD it works, but experiences frequent disconnections even with the power supply setting toggled. Is it like a loose connection? Can the USB not handle that much power? Why don't the HDDs work when the SSD does, and why does the cable indicate it's figured it out?
