Question SAS drive on Home PC

[Patshat]

Hello. This is my first post. My question concerns an SAS drive. I accuired a second hand WD SAS 14 tb hdd. I wan't to use it for storage on my Windows 10 home pc so I also bought an ADAPTEC ASR-5805 512MB 8-Port PCIe SAS/SATA RAID Controller.
I put this in a pci slot on the motherboard an connected the SAS drive. Alas it does not show up in Disk management or file explorer.
I went into Device Manager and the card shows up in storage controllers. I searched online for a solution and found how to boot into the card's bios by changing a setting to CSM on the pc mobo. Tha'ts as far as I got. I'm stuck at what I should change in the card's bios.
I was hoping to format the card To NTFS and make it useable in my Home PC. Any suggestions appreciated.

You need to make a RAID array with that one drive as the only member, so it will be RAID0. Windows can't see the connected drives directly, only what the controller card tells it exists, and until you make an array, nothing exists except a drive in limbo.

First that controller is SO old that Adaptec doesn't even have Windows 10 drivers. That is not a good sign...
You could try manually installing the Server 2008 X64 drivers. -- https://storage.microsemi.com/en-us/support/raid/sas_raid/sas-5805/
