Question SSD is showing but no HDD

[mucken]

I'm new here!
So, I have an SSD on my computer and a bought a new HDD, it's a WD RED 2TB, I've tried to install but is not showing up on device manager, tried to use the same SATA cables from my SSD to my HDD and still not showing on device manager, any tips or anything I can do to solve this?
I'm running on a windows 10.

edit. I was trying to listen the HDD and it doesn't sounds like it's running.
Thank you guys!

Does the new HDD appear in the BIOS?
Does it appear in Windows "Disk Management"?

No, is not showing in the bios or disk management.
Fun fact: Tried to use the same sata cables from my SSD that works fine and the HDD doesn't appear.
Guess they send me a broken one, for the second time.

Do you have a second PC you can try it in ?

No, is not showing in the bios or disk management.

You could try booting with only the new HDD connected, in place of your SSD, to see if it shows up in the BIOS. Connect it to the same SATA port as you were using for the SSD.

Yes, I do have one, already tested and still the same thing, doesn't show in bios or disk management.

I already tried this, just removed my ssd and used the cables from the ssd into the new HDD and still the same, isn't showing in the bios or disk management.

almost sure that it's a problem with the HDD. I just can't believe because this is the second one that i bought and doesn't work.

Yes, I know that I need to go to Disk management and do the initialize.

The thing is, the HDD is not showing up in the bios or in the disk management.

is not even showing "not allocated".
