Access new HDD with USB adapter

[cfourkays]

I have new WD !GB Sata drive I'm trying to format using my USB adapter. It's a powered adapter and has worked with any hard drive.
My PC shows the USB adapter as USB (E) "Insert Disk"

Disk Management shows the adapter with no media.
This is the second new WD drive I just got from Bestbuy.
Tried an old Sata HDD laying around and it was recognized
Any help??
