but for some of the drives, you may find that the adapter may not read the hard drive. don't worry about this case; for IDE drives, please set them to master layout mode
If your hard drive is new, please make a partition before using it.Why the adapter does not work with my Drives ( The SSD/HDD is not recognized on the PC)?
Possible Reasons:
1) If you are using a new SSD drive or an HDD, you need to initialize it first and then format it. You can search for "how to initialize an external tier hard drive" for directions on this. Instructions vary between tween Windows 10, 7, and Vista.2) If it is an old hard disk or disassembled hard disk, first confirm whether the hard disk is good.
3) If it is an Apple OS mac system, set up the hard disk format
4) wrong hard drive type - this cable will not work with 3.5" SSD/HDD
5) Bad USB port on the computer
