Hey everyone, I shucked my Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2TB External HDD hoping that the internal SATA to USB adapter could be used for another SATA drive I have. Picture shows the opened casing, I removed the shielding tape and used the adapter but it has a motherboard which seems to restrict it to work only with the Seagate drive.

Unfortunately, when I plugged it into my PNY 2.5” drive, nothing popped up.

Hoping that someone knows how to make it work universally? I was trying not to buy a SATA to USB adapter because it would take a few days for delivery and I want to use the PNY drive today
