My new upgrade

[Swegly]

I just added an NZXT Hue, h100i with nf-f12s and another 120gb samsung 840 EVO to my build about 10 minutes ago. Everything is working perfectly fine with everything but the ssd. When I first build my PC the first ssd I had automatically go recognized. This time, its not showing up. Any possible solutions? and if it helps I have windows 8

Tried a different SATA power connector? Could just be a DOA...

nope didnt work. It does show up in the device manager though so that means its working. I just dont know why it doesnt show up under "This PC"

Is the SSD located using disc management?

Just what I was going to suggest. You need to possibly format it and give it a drive letter.

Well I can see the SSD under the disk drives tab in the device manager but under "This PC" it doesnt show up

Right click and press format. Then put it as a NTFS.

Try this way through disc management

update driver software. Uninstall. Scan for hardware changes. Properties. I looked in the properties and couldnt see anything either.

Then you're looking in the Device Manager. Right click This PC and go to Manage. Then choose Disk Management on the left hand side.

Ok I assigned it a letter and under "this PC" it is called New volume (E). Is that correct?
