I have one ssd working but every time I plug a different hard drive in they Brick

g0hst

So for boxing day I decided I wanted to go out and buy a rtx 2070 and a new power supply, So I did. When I brought it home I took out my old power supply and put the new one in and did the same with the gpu, Then I booted my pc to see I only had one drive working, my os drive. So I took my other 2 drives out and put them in the toaster and they weren’t recognized. At this point I was very confused but assumed it had something to do with the hard drives so I went back out and bought a 2tb ssd plugged it in and it bricked. So I was like wtf why is everything being brutally murdered when I plug it in so I grabbed another old hard drive that still worked, unplugged my working ssd and plugged in the old hard drive and it bricked to. So now i’m stuck here with a single working ssd and no other hard drives want to work on my pc. Not to mention my hue+ also stopped working for some reason. Please help!

They bricked: they are completely dead essentially bricks. When I have it in the testing thing it says unknown and when You try to initialize it just says "its not ready yet" or something along those lines

Check these drives on other PC. I find it hard that your psu would brick hard drives just on the startup. I mean its possible, but well while under crossload if your psu is bad quality. 

And last question: Have you changed the cables when you've changed the psu? I mean you probably did that, right?

Is your OS drive a M.2 drive and it's disabling the SATA ports you're plugging the other drives into?

 

I didn't see where you list the OS drive, sorry if I missed it.

I tried the drives that appeared to be broken in an external hard drive thing on a separate laptop and they weren't working and when I was testing it with old drives I made sure to try the drive on the laptop and make sure they work(which they did) and then I put them into my pc and they weren't coming up so I tried the drive again on the laptop and it was dead. And yes I tried my drives with other cables

 

this is the psu
