Why not? What happens when you try?
Wha adapter are you using? Make and Model.
Thanks for the questions on my vague post.
I sat with a lap full of hard drives and cables and it turned out that the
Seagate Backup Plus 4TB External USB
was not getting enough power to boot up. Other drives were fine, ALL cables were good.
Thank you again.
Generally, external 3.5 inch drives can't be powered by a USB port.
Those types of drives should have their own power source to power them.
