hard drive only works in media player

So here’s the problem, I’ve got a media player with a 2TB hard drive inside it and I want to start using it as an external hard drive instead but, if I take the hard drive out and connect it to a SATA to USB cable, the hard drive doesn’t even turn on.

I’ve checked it when it’s connected in the media player and it works completely fine, I can look at the files inside and everything.

Hi @will_treds

Let us know what hard drive are you using.

I guess you are using 3.5 Inch HDD.

Do note 3.5 Inch need to have external power supply to supply to the hard disk.

@salmonjapan Oh I see, I do have a 3.5" HDD. Would it work if I put it in an enclosure?
