[SOLVED] Why can't I see my HDD in bios or diskmanagement?

[In1ka]

Hey. So I've bought a new 4TB HDD (WD Blue) and when I plugged it in and started up my pc I couldn't find it, neither in bios nor in disk management. I bought one a week ago and it didn't work, tried pretty much everything and nothing worked. So now i got a new one and I've stumbled across the same problem. Have anybody stumbled across the same problem or know how to solve it?

Kind regards

Hi, What motherboard using?

 

[In1ka]

Asus ROG Strix b450-F gaming.

Already have one 4TB WD Blue HDD that's working, so the motherboard shouldn't be the problem. I've tried 3 different cables and even tried the other inputs on the motherboard, but didn't work. The disk in the HDD is spinning aswell.

Apparently, a dead HDD. Try returning it.

Hmm, that sucks. Second one in a week from the same store (arguably the biggest store for these things in sweden). Oh well, thanks anyway for the help!

No problem.

Did you perhaps do this?

Otherwise, could your model be affected by this?
