Seagate Backup Plus Hub: External Hard drive not showing up?

Thu, 18 Aug 2022 01:07:54 -0700

So I recently dropped my external hard drive on accident. I know I know… theres my first problem right.

Well I thought there might still be a chance that it works. So I plugged it in to my computer and the light on it came on as well as the sound that the computer makes when I normally plug it in.

The issue is though that it doesn’t show up on my computer anywhere. The weird thing is that I can still eject it like I normally would with the eject button… Is there anything I can do to fix it or to get my files? I have them backed up for the most part, there are only a few that I don’t have.

Also I’ve looked up other questions like this and a lot of them say there is some mysterious ticking noise coming from the harddrive but mine doesn’t have any noises coming from it.

Any help would be appreciated :)

The connecting port of my drive got damaged and my laptop won’t see the drive. Can I replace the housing or buy a different housing that will allow me to use the drive without the Seagate backup plus housing? Thanks!!

Seagate Backup Plus Hub: Very silent clicks when plugged in?

Sun, 16 Apr 2023 15:47:08 -0700

Today I found my old Seagate Backup Plus Desktop Drive (4TB) with the removable power stand

I have not used this drive since I got it back in '17 and found it laying in it's box.
I plugged it in to use it as games storage on my PC and it has a very quiet clicking sound, doesn't popup in my PC on devmgmt or Seagate Tools.

The light on the power stand turns off as soon as I attach the SATA ports on the drive to the stand

I tried attaching a HDD I had in my PC to it and the light turns off, but the drive works just fine
