I purchased a Western Digital WD3200BEVT 320gb 2.5" drive and an Eagle ET-CS2LSU2-BK external enclosure.
It all went together perfectly except the setup doesn't work. No matter what I do the drive is not recognized anywhere in my system.
It came with a double plug cable and I have plugged it into back ports, front ports and a powered hub. With the front or back plugs, the drive spins up, the led indicator glows green but nothing else happens. When I tried the powered hub, I also get a few USB connect/disconnect dings but then still, nothing is recognized by the system.
I don't have anything else to try the drive with but its either the enclosure or the drive. The powered hub should be giving it enough power and thats the only place I saw any USB activity. Since I got the series of connects/disconnects sounds, I am thinking there may be a bad connection.
But, if you had to guess, which component do you think is failing here?
