    I've just bought Silicon Power Armor A60 1TB Ext HDD.

    When I plug It to my laptop it successfully gets installed but unable to open the Disk or view it from C:\ drive ?

    Is it faulty ?

    It should show up as a separate drive letter (not C :) in Windows Explorer. Try a different USB port, and if it still does not show up in Windows Explorer, go into disk management and make sure it shows up there. It may need to be initialized and formatted, but these drives usually come pre-formatted from the factory.
