Hard drive from PS4 pro not being recognized by MSI B450 Tomahawk PC

I decided to upgrade my PS4 Pro hard drive to SSD, so I transferred the HDD from PS4 to my PC. However, my PC does not recognize/see the drive either in bios/disk management or in run CMD-->disk part-->list volume. I have tried switching the sata cables and I'm sure it has power. Any ideas?

 

My specs are:

MSI B450 Tomahawk motherboard

Ryzen 5 2600

GTX 1080 GPU

16GB DDR4 vengeance ram

EVGA 650W PSU

 

I have read somewhere that installing SATA raid drivers may fix it, but I believe I already installed that (I got the AM4 PIDE/SATA driver from MSI. https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450-TOMAHAWK#down-driver&Win10 64) Please let me know if there is something else I needed to install.

Thank you for your help.

Does the drive spin up?

 

SInce it doesn't show in the bios, its not a driver problem.
 

Can you try the drive in a different pc?

I tried it on another desktop and it is being shown in disk management.

I formatted it and it works on my old desktop, but when I moved the hard drive over again, nothing is being shown in disk management.
