[Locked] Internal Hard drives

I have two Caviar Green's and only one will work at a time what am I doing wrong?

Could be a couple things. Power supply can't provide enough power? Is one drive a dud? SATA controller disabled in BIOS or something?

Are they master/slave?

Do you need the plug and play drivers to run them?

Did you install them correctly.

only one will work at a time

Yeah, it's kinda hard to pinpoint the problem. Like I said, maybe your computer's power supply isn't strong enough to power them. Or maybe a plug is broken and not powering the drive? Or maybe there's something in the BIOS set to disable one drive.

As far as I know, all Caviar Green drives are SATA and don't have master/slave jumpers like old PATA/IDE drives do.

I see so I should just get a different color

Get a external case and run it as a exhdd.

-_- It shouldn't matter what color they are. Green are supposed to be "energy saving", blue are regular, and black are faster.

Here's the deal, OP. Read this, read this, make an intelligent reply, and this thread stays unlocked.

Well I got what I needed you may lock it :)

It's a shame because I can't give Tegumi +rep and Arianz -rep at the same time.

Ok.... -_-
