[QUOTE="syrose, post: 1596409, member: 117052"] When I connect my 3TB Transcend HDD to my brand new iMac (11,2 Intel Core i5, Memory 16 GB, Processor Speed:3.6GHz, Interconnected speed:6.4GT/s) via the USB, it turns the iMac off. I have tried using 2.0 and 3.0 USB cables directly and/or via powered hub but to no avail. All other external HDDs work perfectly. As a matter of fact, this external HDD worked flawlessly with my old (non-Intel) PPC G5 In order to eliminate the faintest probability of a HDD failure my daughter checked the HDD with her computer. It worked flawlessly. Please what could be the problem? Since this HDD contains all my files and it is extremely vital to be able to use it. [/QUOTE]
