Hi,
My drive Seagate STDR4000100 was working correctly, on my last connectio my drive was not recognized by my PC, i could see the light lit but it was not showing, so i opened up device manager which did not show storage media, i could see the usb ejection option in task bar when clicked there was a device SCID BK, i tried to eject but no effect, i unistalled driver and reconnected without benifit
I searched for solution, did not resolve by changing PC, connecting cable etc, i searched and found ubuntu might pick it up, i installed Linux lite and hard drive had same label, and it was not picked up as drive but as SCID Mass storage, i tried different methods no effect, till then connecting lite was lit but could not feel hard drive spinning, i searched more and found inside casing its like normal sata drive, i opened up case and removed connecter carefully and connected SATA to USB connector which did not help neither without Power supply nor with power supply, tried even different PC and Windows 10 and Linux Lite. now the lite is not litting but i can feel hard drive spinning for some time and then shutting down and drive recognition has changed to Seagate Backup+, tried same as above twice since name had changed without any effect
My PC is running windows 10 and linux Lite, USB 3.0 and 2.0
