So I've just got a new WD40EZAZ, it's WD Blue 4TB.
Connected to my PC, it won't spin at all. Windows 7 wouldn't even see it in Computer Management. I connect it to the power supply the same way all other SATA are connected. I even took out all drives except for the Windows one, and it won't see it.
I connected it to my Windows 7 laptop using a SATA to USB adapter with an external power supply, and still can't hear or feel it spinning, nor even when I just connect the power cable to it.
On the laptop, Computer Management did see it and asked to initialize. I chose GPT so Windows 7 can see all 4TB, it started but then right away fails with a "Data error (cyclic redundancy check)".
Is the disk defected? or am I doing something wrong??
Thanks for the help.
