Question

Seagate expansion 3tb

Apr 28, 2012 5:13AM PDT

I have gone through 2 3tb seagate expansion drives, the usb connectors breakfrom the circuit board. I bought a thermaltake 5g. When I connect the message that I get is that hd needs to be formated. What can I do to rectify this? Do I buy yet again another drive and switch the boards? And does anyone know if I can get a cheaper drive whose board will work on this?

Thank you in advance

(NT) Sure the Thermaltake device will work with a 3TB drive ?
