Turn those external hard drive: SEAGATE 3,5 8TB BACK UP PLUS or WD 3,5 8TB MY BOOK in to internal hard drive using standart SATA cable, will it work just fine like standart 3,5 hard drive ? any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you guys!
 
Solution
For the last few years WD and Seagate have put special firmware on some their drives that prevent them from being used as internals and some dont even have a sata interface port on the pcb, it is only USB.

If you want a drive as an internal then buy an internal drive.
External drives are noticeably lower quality and lower performance than internal drives as well.
