Why is my laptop not working properly with a sata3 drive?

Hello, I have a fairly old but fully working Lenovo G510 laptop. Some time ago (about 2 years ago) I decided to replace the drive in it with an adapter for hdd. As a result, I have the main HDD SATA3 at 7200 rpm, and the second (in the adapter) HDD SATA2 at 5400 rpm. All this worked for 2 years without problems at all. I decided in the end to replace the drive in the adapter with another, larger one, but at the same time SATA3. The disk is defined, but when you try to write something to it, it falls off (either just hangs tightly, or simply disappears from the system). I thought it was the adapter, but no, the old disk is working correctly, I thought it was the switch on the adapter, but none of the provisions helped. As a result, I decided that the problem is that the SATA3 disk is clumsily supported, although there seems to be no particular difference in power supply, the connector is the same. Where to dig in the end? I ask you not to advise me to change the laptop, the laptop is working, there are more than enough resources for surfing.

Most likely it's not about SATA2/3, but about the power supply of the disk.
For ODD, the laptop manufacturer has provided certain indicators of the maximum simultaneous and stable power consumption of the ODD by the power device.
The new disk requires more power than the old one, at the moment of switching on it simply lacks power and cannot turn on normally.
What are the switches on the switch?
