Power disable feature enabled on this hard drive so need to tape 3.3v pin to prevent signal from preventing the hard drive from spinning up

The pin NOT being covered is causing your drive not to work. If you're not using some drive enclosure which has you sliding drives into a backplane (QNAP. Synology) and instead using a regular PC, the just buy a SATA power splitter and cut the first wire. I typically get Black Friday external drives and after shucking them I have to deal with the pin and the SATA splitter cable is an easy way to deal with the 3.3v disable pin. Don't buy cheap SATA splitters as they have caught on fire per the interwebs and plenty of picture samples.

Wow, I'm really surprised that it comes with an adapter to disable the pin just due to liability reasons but on the other hand they're selling to end consumers. IMO, I would try not to use the included adapter and just cover the pin with kapton, electrical tape or even nail polish (but thick like 2 coats). If you can try on multiple computers or an external enclosure. If none of them work then you definitely got a busted drive.
Not first 3 pins... but only the 3rd pin...
Fair enough, I'm an exact science kinda guy 😆 did my research years ago and it solely talked about pin 3. I would say before calling it dead just try doing the single 3.3v pin.
