External HDD problems

[Vlapu]

Hi!

(First time posting, so please excuse any mistakes)

 

A while back, I purchased an external 2tb hard drive used off of Craigslist. The drive works fine when in the enclosure, and uses some wall converter to power itself, and a mini usb cable for data. I was interested in not having the drive in this enclosure, but inside of my pc, connected by sata. I disassembled the enclosure, and attached the drive with sata to my motherboard and power supply. However, when I start my pc, the drive starts beeping (can't hear any clicking though), and doesn't show up in windows or the bios. If i disconnect the sata cable, but not the power, the beeping stops until I put the cable back in. I would like to know if there is maybe an issue with my power supply, motherboard, or maybe the drive?

Probably a bad drive. Id just get a new one and restore backups. All drives will die.

I guess I'll just continue to use it as an external drive and buy a new internal.

Thanks for the help!

That PSU is literally archaic design, but single HDD certainly shouldn't cause problems.

Not sure if they can tweak HDD somehow so that it doesn't work directly in PC but works in that enclosure.

So try drive again in its enclosure.

Some only later than others.
