#Sabrent ec dflt initialize drive mac software#
I have tried countless solutions from all of the Reddit threads that were similar to this, I have tried different software programs and their respective guides to try to get the drive initialized or get any error codes other than the previous one but nothing has helped me so far and I'm still at square 1.

The drive is not recognized, not even in the BIOS and when connected to my main PC and trying to initialize it I get the same hardware error message as with the previous 'broken' drive.

Upon finishing, I install the drive on the new PC and begin the Windows installation which to my surprise I get the SAME PROBLEM, again, however this time I didn't even have the chance to install Windows on it or transfer any kind of data onto it. However, before starting the Windows installation, I like to partition my drive's using MiniTool Partition and create a dedicated partition for the OS, while also making sure the drive is configured correctly and working, which it was. I wish the problem could've ended here, but this is where it really started.Īfter a few days, my drive replacement gets here and I install it following the previous steps. After countless hours of research and failed attempts at making the drive work I took a big L and decided to send it back and get a replacement. However, I couldn't even initialize the drive and I kept getting the error "The request failed due to a fatal device hardware error" which means the drive is dead or about to die (keep in mind this is a new drive and I didn't mishandle it in any way that could've caused it to have a hardware failure). I tried formatting the disk by connecting it to my main PC using an external hard drive docking station and disk management. I thought I had maybe copied over a virus or I accidentally transferred the old OS files onto the new disk causing it to malfunction. Upon booting the PC I started getting problems with the drive not being recognized, not even in the BIOS. Everything was working fine until I transferred the old data from the previous disk onto the new one (I used MiniTool Partition Wizard).

I installed the drive on the PC and successfully installed Windows 10 from a USB. I recently purchased a new SSD to install on a computer running an older HDD.

MOBO: INTEL P55/H55 w/ H55 (IbexPeak DH) chipset These are the following specs of the 'new machine' that's receiving the hard drive upgrade.

I will try to keep this short as I don't want to add useless information, but I want to give you guys the full rundown of what is happening. Howdy tech supporters, this is my first post here so excuse me for any formatting errors or such. New SSD's die due to Windows 10 installation So it's more for that than anything, but the app is called "Cloud Backup Sync" or something, so I'm mentioning it. Is it stupid to back up public cloud? Maybe, but every time I cut/paste the contents of the NAS destination folder to a new directory not being backed up, my cloud accounts drop back to 0, keeping me out of danger of hitting the quota. Both are backed up nightly to the second NAS. I also use Google Drive for docs I sometimes need while I'm out and about, and OneDrive for work. Wish they were farther away, which is why I consider it "soft." Bring them home from work once per month, run a full backup of everything, then take them back to work and shove them in my cabinet behind a bunch of old accounting textbooks, where I'm confident even the Gestapo would never look. Two large HDDs in a SATA/USB bridges using a mix of USB Copy and HyperBackup. Not using RAID - it's two very large independent storage pools. Runs de-dupes about once per week using HyperBackup. It's really just my "old NAS" that I "replaced" when I got my most recent unit.
