Review on πŸ“ Acomdata HDEXXUP-240-BLK: USB 2.0 2.5-Inch SATA Hard Disk Enclosure in Black - High-Speed Data Transfer Solution! by Savoeun Ramirez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

WORKS GREAT NOW! (doesn't work.)

Below is my original review. Apparently the PlayStation partitions the entire drive into partitions and when you plug any PS3 drive into the PC it doesn't show up because it's fully partitioned and technically there is NO drive read by your Windows or Mac formats can. Quick and easy solution! Go to "Control Panel" and open "Administrative Tools". From here, open the Computer Management shortcut and once it opens look for Disk Management under Storage on the left. Click "Disk Management” and you will see your main hard drive, which is usually "Disk 0”, your PS3 or other undetected hard drive will be one of the others "Disk 1, Disk 2, Disk 3”. From here, find out which drive is the disk you want to open. Once you've found what drive it is [on the right], click the SMALL DISK RIGHT NEXT icon next to the drive name (Drive 1, Drive 2, or Drive 3) and select Initialize. Once you've done that, right-click on the partition to resize or remove it entirely, and then you can use the disk as you see fit. I hope this review helps some people! SORRY for the first bad review. FIVE STARS, GREAT PRODUCT! OLD REVIEW: ["I received this case today, put my old PS3 80GB hard drive in to format it and use it to transfer media to the new PS3 750GB hard drive I just got installed. when I connected it to my laptop. Nothing. :(I felt the hard drive start spinning and the blue light on the back came on, but my computer didn't recognize anything. The hard drive didn't show up, nothing happened at all. Am I missing something?"]

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Expensive insurance
