New HDD arrived, and same issue. Problem is not with the drives themselves... It's just not there at all inside BIOS or Disk Management. Haven't gotten the second SSD to test yet. -Update- Okay, no, wait. That was really weird. So when I simply inserted the HDD internally, it had the same old...

Yeah, the new 850w PSU solved nothing, so the only logical conclusion remaining I can think of is that all three drives are defective. I'll try replacing those next... Update I was able to return the 4tb SSHD, but I've had the 1tb HDDs too long. I've ordered a high-end 2tb Western Digital Black...

I've tried connecting the drives externally to my Mac Mini as well, but I can't find it anywhere in the system. It doesn't show up in either Finder or Disk Utility.

Here's an image of my Disk Manager. On the new PC, the extra drive was simply not there at all. Those links seemed to suggest initializing the drive, which isn't working in either format. MBR gives the hardware error, and GPT claims the drive isn't large enough (the SSHD used in the screenshot...

Unlikely though it was, I think all of the 2 HDDs and the SSHD are all corrupt. The external enclosure arrived, and although the SSD works fine in it, all the others come up as "Unknown, not initialized" in disk management and do not appear in File Explorer. If I try initializing them, they fail...

Unfortunately I can't. I just RMA'd the PSU, since it seemed like the most likely cause at this point despite the tester saying it was fine. The new one will be here Thursday, then I can see if that solved it or not. The external enclosure will also get here Thursday, so I can see if the drives...

Yep; SSD in the back, SSHD and HDD in the bottom. Connectors from those bottom ports are hooked into the motherboard and the PSU. The DVD R/W drive in front is also functional.

Brand new PC, brand new drives. Do not appear in BIOS or Disk Management. All cables are properly connected. I must have disconnected and re-connected them a dozen times now in the process of testing everything.

Hm... I don't think it's the drives themselves either, since the brand new drive I bought after the issue arose is doing the same thing, but I have an external enclosure coming in the mail so I can test them on my laptop just in case. Is it possible that, even though the PSU voltage is testing...

The SSD is SATA. I've ran a voltage tester on the PSU, so I don't think it's that. I don't think the drives are spinning up at all; I don't know how obvious it should be, but if there's any sound or vibration, I'm not sensing it.

I've put together a new PC build, and for some reason my HDDs are not showing up in either the BIOS, File Explorer or Disk Management. The manufacturer's testing software was also unable to detect the drives. The main SSD my OS is on is fine. And when I say "not detected," I mean it's like they...
