SATA TO USB FOR MAC WINDOWS
If this error happens again then run "repair disk again"ģ) The "SATA to USB3.0 connector" IS! windows specific. TWO: in finder right click it and click on "Eject". ONE: if the disk appears on the Desktop drag it to the Trash befor unpluging it. Make shoure you eject and disk you connect to the USB port befor disconnecting them. If this is all right then it may be (in no order these idears will help):ġ) The connector should be "E-SATA to USB3.0" most external HDs are E-SATA "External-SATA" and not SATAĮxchange the SATA connector for a E-SATA one.Ģ) The connector was disconnect from the computer and reconnected without properly ejecting it, before Time Machine was run Your "SATA to USB3 connector" is marked for use with Windows? and you call it a dongle (witch is something else)Īfter re-formatting the external HD (not the "dongle" you can't re-format a connector) the message was "disk was ejected improperly"? When you say "dongle" I asome you mean the "SATA to USB3.0 connector".Īm I right your external HD has gote a E-SATA connector on it? What make and model is it? "SATA to USB3.0 connector", "external HD" and "these dongles". To help you I need to get some clear information. My question is, are these dongles specific to an OS - Windows, Mac, etc.
But when I tried to run a Time Machine backup to it, the backup failed and the message said the disk was ejected improperly. Ran verify and repair disk and all seemed to be OK.
SATA TO USB FOR MAC MAC OS
Plugged it - with the HD attached - into my Macbook Pro and got the message "the disk you inserted cannot be read" so I reformatted the drive on Disk Utility to Mac OS extended journaled. I bought a SATA to USB3.0 connector for an external HD and just realized the maker's OS designation is Windows, not Mac. Just wondering why the maker specified Windows OS. Planning to get another external HD and see what happens with that. When I put it back in the OWC enclosure had to format it again, but it's OK now, Time Machine backs up to it. I took the drive out of one of them and hooked it up to the dongle with the above result. I have two USB3.0 enclosures I got from OWC, no problem with them. Yes, it's a cable with a SATA connector on one end and USB3.0 on the other and with an AC adapter. Could be a loose connection inside the port or to the logic board. If you don't get that error when connected to the other USB port then it is clearly something wrong with that particular USB port and you should have Apple look at the system and have it repaired. If you do that means there is either something wrong with the adapter, doubtful, or somethig wrong with your Mac USB ports. Try the other USB port on your Mac and see if you still get the error about the drive being disconnected improperly. Since it has its own AC adapter you should be fine. So if the adapter you have does not have its own AC power supply I suggest you get one that doess come with an AC power supply. Otherwise you are never sure if the system is suppying enough power from the USB port to properly power the drive you have connected to the adapter or enclosure. That is why I always suggest getting one of these adapter, or even an enclosure, that has it own AC power supply. Your Mac notebook USB port isn't putting out enough power to fully power up the drive and or keeping it powered up during the Time Machine Backup process. If the adapter you have is USB BUS powered that is more than likely your problem. The electronics inside the adapter case and in a Drive Enclosure case are exactly the same thing. In all honesty an enclosure is nothing more than one of these style adapters with a case to mount the drive in. The drive connected to the computer with one of these adapters will show up in the base system, BIOS or EFI, as an attached device. They work on any computer no matter what operating system is installed on them and even if there is no operating system installed on the internal drive. A SATA to USB adapter is not OS specific.
