Hi there
Anybody else had this error.
USB3 external drive (Samsung 1 TB self powered) connected to a USB3 Hub connected to a USB3 card on a desktop computer now no longer recognised -- not even visible and the led on the USB3 Hub fails to light up.
Connect to standard USB2 slot (note USB2) slot disk is fine and works normally although at USB2 transfer rates.
Now if I connect this disk to the USB3 port on my laptop it works fine (and at USB3 speeds).
I've re-formatted -- FULL -- the drive but same problems.
Other USB3 drives plugged in to the USB3 Hub work normally. I've swapped the USB3 hub between the two ports on the computer and also tried using different slots on the hub -- same problem --disk just not recognized or even visible.
Is it possible for a USB3 drive to "Partially downgrade" itself to USB2 or should I just cut my losses on this drive -- backup the data and just bin the drive.
Seems a shame to bin a 1 TB drive that seems still to work - although I could be buying trouble.
I've never seen an error like this before -- disks IMO either work or become defective --they don't "Downgrade".
Cheers
