So i have an asus maximus vi gene micro atx lga1150
I have a main 500GB SSD for Windows and 1TB HDD for "recovery" as my second drive. And i just bought some new WD 4TB drives to put in my system.
1. I tested the drives our using a USB Dock, they showed up in windows fine, i was able to initialize them.
2. I then install the hard drives in my computer and restarted my computer. Windows then alerted me that it would check the status of my drives,
3. Computer does it's thing, boots up and then the drives dont show up in Windows anymore neither in BIOS. I take the drives out, put them back in the USB Dock and i see that it comes up but fails to initialize (basically it's dead).
Now the thing is, this is the 6TH drive that this has happened to. I never even get to use the drives, they just die as soon as i install them in the PC. So my question is, what is frying my new hard drives, but leaving my old drives that were already in my PC alone. It seems to have an issue with my new drives. But my 500GB SSD and 1TB drive are not effected by this issue at all.
