I recently got a new Western Digital 12 TB SATA hard drive. I installed in in the system, but it didn't show up in bios or windows disk manager. Swapped around SATA cables and power connectors with other (working) drives in the system, and still nothing... Finally plugged it into an older system but had to use one of those Molex to SATA power adapter thingies, and lo and behold - the drive shows up!
Moved it back to my main system, with the adapter thingy and it works - so I'm wondering if there's some sort of issues with SATA power connectors? It's not the drive as the problem persists with a different WD 12 tb drive, and I tried several different SATA power connectors coming off the Power Supply. It's a Corsair 500W power supply...
