HDD Missing

[MunAprix]

Hello,

 

I have a new build with a PCIE SSD for OS and a HDD for storage.

My problem is that the HDD doesn't show up in the BIOS at all.

I have tried changing to legacy mode, didn't work. Tried enabling CSM, didn't work. Tried RAID, or more like I wanted to try, but couldn't find it at all in the BIOS no matter where I looked, so that didn't really work either.

 

I have been struggling with this issue for hours and can't figure out a way to fix it. All the guides/solutions I have found either don't work either they have a different BIOS and different options (Like the RAID which is nowhere to be seen on my side).

Specs:

 

Motherboard : Asus PRIME Z590-P

CPU : Intel Core i7-11700K 11th Gen

Graphics Card : Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060

SSD (OS) : Crucial P2 NAND NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 - 500Gb

HDD : Western Digital Blue SATA - 2Tb

try each sata port one at a time on the mobo with a different sata cable. do you hear the drive running when the system is powered on?

I have tried different ports and cables but it didn't work.

I also tried listening to and feeling the drive (temperature and vibration) and it doesn't make any noise and doesn't vibrate at all. Considered the possibility that it might be dead but I thought I'd look for other options before sending it back.

If there is no noise or vibration and its definitely plugged into power correctly (if its a modular PSU, double check the other end of the power cable is fully plugged in) then its almost certainly dead.  It should spin up regardless of if the motherboard sees it or not.

Thought as much... Hoped it might be just me doing something wrong.

 

Oh well. I'll jsut get another one.

Thanks in any case for the speedy reply!
