" I tried to connect it to a 1tb hard drive using a hard drive connector"

 

That is too generic of a description for the hardware you are referring to.

 

Can you explain exactly what you mean, instead of saying a hard drive connector?

I had to rephrase this because your original post is not that easily understood.

 

Connecting with a 12-pin SATA ribbon cable. Just how are you making that connection?

Can you provide a image that you can post here?
