I just wrote you about WD Element, it is a 5.0TB Sata/64MB Cache, WD50EZRZ
WDBlue PC Hard Drive. It will not power up. I wonder if I can get a new USB controller board for it? I am only interested in getting information off of the hard drive. Can an "WEme USB 3.0 to SATA Converter Adapter for 2.5 3.5 Inch Hard Drive Disk SSD HDD" work to power it up to retrieve the Data?
I have a WD element 4T and it will not power up. New cable and power adapter. It was stabilized in one spot for over a year, powered up just to store my movies. Plug it up after two weeks of none use and would not power up, no light inside. What can be done? My other storage drives work fine. By the way, you have the best directions on the web.
