Hi there Rohitdev7736,

Have you used the drive on your computer or it is the first time you attach it to your system?
The first thing you can try is to change both power and SATA cables and connect the drive to a different SATA port. You can connect it to another system as well, in order to be sure whether the issue is caused by the HDD or your system.
If the issue persists, you can go to Disk Management and see whether the drive is recognized over there. If it is, check whether it has healthy partitions and/or file system. In case it does not, you can try some data/partition recovery software. After that you test the drive with WD's Data Lifeguard Diagnostic tool.
In case the drive is not recognized by Disk Management(and you have tried all the cable/ports/different computer steps), then I guess you will not be able to access the drive with some software tool.
If the drive is still under warranty, I guess you can contact WD's Support and eventually RMA it.

Does anyone really believe that there are 4 separate Official Western Digital Representatives on this forum?

In fact I have seen about a dozen different personas claiming to be Official Western Digital Representatives, in several storage forums.

I am an Official Western Digital representative, verified by Tom's Hardware administration. Yes, it is true that my colleagues and I are actively participating in multiple forums.
There is absolutely no benefit for me to lie about this.
