Identifizierte Ursachen

External Hard Drive Hardware Failure

70%

The internal components of the external hard drive may have failed, preventing it from powering on or communicating with the computer. This is a common cause for complete non-recognition.

Power Supply Issue

15%

Some external hard drives require a separate power adapter. If this adapter is faulty or not properly connected, the drive may not receive enough power to be recognized.

Corrupted Drive Firmware or Controller

10%

The firmware that controls the drive's operation or the USB controller within the drive enclosure might be corrupted, leading to a lack of communication.

Driver Issues on the Computer

5%

Although less likely if multiple ports and cables were tried, outdated or corrupted USB drivers on the computer could prevent recognition of new devices.
