I have Simpletech SimpleDrive Model 90000-40479-002. I am visiting Korea now, that uses 220V instead. I plugged it on and it seems like the adapter got burnt. Is there any adapter I could use in Korea for the drive please?

It could be that it's internal power supply burnt out,
in which case the drive itself could still be fine.

Try opening up the external case, and removing the drive.
Once you do, plug it in to your computer directly using its SATA cables, and see if that works.

Hope I helped,
Tom

SOURCE: General questions regarding simpletech simpledrive.

You probably have to initialize and/or format the drive.

Right click my computer and click Manage (assuming windows xp)

Go to disk management

See if you see the drive listed somewhere there. Should show approximately 950gb disk drive

If so right click that drive listed and choose either format, or create partition.

If you create the parttiion, make sure to click quick format, otherwise it will take a long time.

Hope this helps

Loose connection inside the Drive case. Remove drive and check internal wiring.
