Listener Question - HDD not detected

I have a relatively new ext hard drive which works on my old pc but not on my new one. Why would that be?
There could be several potential reasons.

• The hard drive may be drawing too much power from the USB ports. Newer PCs don’t provide that much power from USB ports. Try connecting the drive to a rear PC port as these sometimes provide more power than the front ports.
• Also try the USB2 (black) and USB 3 ports (blue) to see if there is any difference.
• With the drive connected and working on your older PC, try running a disk check to see if there are any problems with the file system preventing it from being read with the new PC.

There are other possibilities: potentially the cable and/or drivers, but these are less likely in my opinion.
