I have this old, 320GB, Hitachi, laptop thin 5V HDD drive. The other day, I tried opening this on my laptop, but whenever I plugged it in, any application to do with storage (Files, Disk Management, etc) just froze. But whenever I opened it up on my Elephas mini projector, it worked just fine. To make it even weirder, the HDD is from a Windows laptop. Does anyone have any ideas on why this is?
HDD wont open on my laptop, but will on my projector??

I don't believe that's it, because I have other HDDs that I can easily open without any problems.

@trail hamlet I'll have to intervene here, this won't have any benefits.
