Hey All
So I've got a Western Digital 10TB Black. Its never been used before, never been setup, nothing. When I try to Initialize it to properly partition it, It says the it was unable to perform the Action due to an I/O Error. Ive done my own research of course, tried different sata ports, different sata cables, I've even got a 2 TB western Digital Blue that works just fine, and I've tried swapping their cables and ports and the 2TB still works just fine, My device manager says the device is working properly, But the drive doesn't show up in motherboard BIOS. Because of this I've even gone as far as to update my Motherboard bios, and still nothin, wont initialize dude to an I/O error. Yall got any other ideas, or is it time to contact WD and get a replacement?
Thanks in Advance
