Hey there, Rajon_.

Are you trying to access this drive by connecting it directly via your SATA cables instead of a regular 2.5" drive? Laptops use drives with 2.5" form factor, so connecting a 3.5" drive might be a bit overwhelming and they might not be able to power it up properly. So I'd recommend that you try using it with an external enclosure for a 3.5" drive (they use external power source) or a SATA to USB adapter, again - externally powered in order to be able to access the drive via your laptop.

Please let me know how it goes.
