The Vantec NexStar TX drive may not be recognized on a Windows 11 PC because the hard drive inside has not been initialized, partitioned, or formatted. The red power light going out could indicate that the OS is not accessing the drive. To fix this, use the system disk tool to initialize, partition, and format the drive.
