I am on my second newertech USB universal drive adapter doohickey from our sponsor. the first i returned b/c I thought it was broken. now the second one doesn't work either. so could it be something i am doing wrong? Its got power. Funny thing is the drive doesn't even power on UNTIL I UNPLUG the sata cable. Then it powers up, spins up, but never appears on the desktop or disk utility (after plugging in the sata cable of course). Drive is a known quantity. Works perfect in an external case.
