Home > Recently Asked questions > My portable hard drive does not get recognized by Mac

The thing is most of the times when I try to connect the drive after turning on the PC I face the issue that, my portable hard drive does not get recognized by Mac. On the other hand, when I connect it before turning on my Mac machine, it works fine. I would like to know that, whether is this some kind of a brand conflict of hard drive with my PC or not?

Mostly portable hard drives have the same issues on different computer systems. Well, most probably you would be using a laptop because such devices are needed more with them. Most of the people set their laptops to power saving mode that is why the USB or external storage devices do not get automatically adjusted.
