Hello,

Make sure you plug the drive directly to the USB port and not trough a USB Hub. If you still have the same issue then it is possible that your computer is not providing enough power trough the USB port to spin the drive properly.

USB3.0 requires 800mA to work and USB2.0 500mA.

Also make sure you are not using a cable longer than the original.
