My WD Hard drive is not recognized by this USB Hub, any reason why?

I have Seagate and WD USB 3.0 HDDs plugged into my hub, and no issues on my MS Surface Pro 3. Could it be driver related for your USB HDDs?

You're using Windows 8! JK. It workes great on my Win 8 rig. The drivers it installs are for the HDD itself. Try using a different USB port. If that doesn't work check the Disk Management utility for your HDD and go from there.

Sorry do not know if WD HD will work but it is the same general spec for your Samsung. You can check what is installed by removing hard drivecover on bottom or go into system setup to see what is installed in the BIOS.

Sorr y my first answer was not complete. You can down load software for wd and seagate drives that will recognize and format them.

Control Panel, Admin tools, disk management should see the drive even if not formatted yet. If it does not then you have a defective unit.

Mac Pros tend to have problems with USB 3 devices. Suggest a good USB 3 expansion card like SIIG and an extension cord. Hubs seem to have lots of problems. Also repartition the drive as GUID and use HFS+ formatting.

Two things you can try... 1. Try and reinstall it from scratch. As if it is brand new. OR... Check your device manager in your computer and make sure it is selected. Hope it helps! :-) (And what you'll want to select is the BD (which is your external disc drive we're trying to get recognized)...

Rocco, I wish that I knew the answer. I have the same question, as I'm interested in purchasing two, of the WD World Edition 2TB, to daisychain them through the USB. Maybe, somebody will know soon?

I don't know your Poweredge, but it looks like your existing drive is a SATA drive, so I would have thought it would be OK. Whatever OS and drive controller you are using would be of more concern. Might be worth emailing WD support asking them.

I assume you mean it's not recognized Try plugging it into the cord first then the cord into your usbI can't give you an explanation but it work for me on previous machines Also take a flash drive to test that port. Occasionally they do fail

You shouldn't have to. Try a different port. And also wait up to 60 seconds for the drive to be recognized.

I don't have that hard drive but my HD doesn't work with the hub so I suspect yours probably will not work either. The HD is one of the few things that doesn't work.

Never had that issue with this item. try unplugging all cables and then try plugging the drive into the wall, with out any cables to the computer. If the problem persists, contact WD. Hopefully you are still under warranty, and they can get you a replacement.

The hub shouldn't need a driver, could it be something plugged into the Hub it's not recognizing?

Try another disk, if that doesn't change then possibly your missing or damaged driver for the drive. Other possibly the drive I'd bad.

I only have windows 7. But had a similar problem with a western digital USB drive. I returned the drive & problem was solved.

I believe the drive is powered by legacy usb 2.0 standard interface. The other end of the connector is usb 3.0 peripheral interface.
