So I recently bought, a new WD Blue Harddisk WD20EZRZ 2TB 3.5 SATA-600 5400rpm, and installed it, in to my already working pc. The only thing was, when I booted the system, the harddrive didn't show up. What to do!?
It should also be noted, I have never worked with a harddrive before, only ssd's, so i'm a bit lost. And I might simply have plugged it in wrong.

So to make sure that isn't the case, I will follow you trough my process of installing it, to see if I have made any mistakes.

So first of I screwed the hdd, into the case bracket, (not that I assume that has anything to do with perfomance) then plugged the sata power cable in, and plugged the sata data cable, from the motherboard, (motherboard is a gigabyte b450m ds3h mini-atx) to the hdd.

Thanks in advance :)
