Being an electrician, I would suspect the exceedingly cheap (yet quite efficient and about zero phantom load, unlike the heavy wall wart types) switching power bricks that come with such adapters. So, try a different power supply. e.g. you can connect the drive to a computer's power supply and still use the USB to SATA adapter to see if the black brick's the problem. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
