Original Title: My Seagate external HDD started smoking. I shucked it and put the drive in a Sabrent enclosure. The enclosure powers on without the drive in it but doesn't once I connect the drive. Models and pictures in post.
I have an old Seagate Expansion Desktop Drive (Model SRD0NF2) with an 8 tb Barracuda ST8000DM004 drive in it. It already has data on it. I am using a SABRENT USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drive Lay-Flat Docking Station for 2.5 or 3.5in HDD, SSD [Support UASP] (EC-DFLT).
The original Seagate enclosure started smoking with this 3rd party power supply (lost original one and stupidly used this) so I immediately unplugged it. It was smoking for maybe 3-4 seconds. I shucked it and connected the 8 tb Seagate drive within it to the Sabrent enclosure SATA port. The Sabrent enclosure powers on when there's no drive in it. When I put the Seagate drive in it the Sabrent enclosure doesn't power on anymore.
- This is the SATA to USB bridge PCP from the Seagate drive. It looks burnt to the right of the power jack.
- This is the Seagate drive. The model number in the item title doesn't match what's on the Seagate enclosure or drive.
- This is the enclosure.

Does anyone have any idea what happened? Am I just connecting the drive wrong somehow? Did the drive get fucked too, or is this some issue with being formatted for a specific enclosure? If so, how would I get data off the drive? Thank you in advance!
