Re: External HDD connection problem

Ok, that explains why it reboots when the hdd is plugged in. So my solution is a powered usb hub.
Thanks for the help :D

Re: External HDD connection problem

When it is connected, you can hear that it tries to spins up, then it makes a click noise and then it tries again to spin up (It's not broken. Works fine on my pc). It must be the power that is the problem, but why can the raspberry pi not give enough power, even with a 2A power supply?

Re: External HDD connection problem

I have it connected directly to the raspberry pi. Is it because it does not get enough power?
I have seen a video where the same kind of hdd is connected directly to a raspberry pi.

Edit: A few moments after it unmounts, it mounts again and work for some time, then it unmounts again.
It keeps doing that.
