HDD not Reading

alteredasphyxia

Just recently build a pc. The WD 1TB and 120GB SSD shows on my device manager under disk drives but when I move over to the control panel it only shows my SSD and in my Control panel my Disk 0 (1TB HDD) doesn't have any "D:" "F:" beside it and has 0% usage

Is the hard drive itself formatted? If not you'll need to open Disk Management and format it. That process will also assign the new volume a drive letter, and it'll show up in This PC.

That's a WD Blue drive, correct?

The WD10EZEX is a standard 3.5" WD Blue. It's an older model but they seem to be quite reliable. I've got two running in my NAS, both of which had some years of use on them prior to being put in the NAS.

As I was thinking, yeah. Off the top of my head I can't recall any abnormal mechanical failure risk with the WDx0EZxx lineup

Yep, that shows that your drive isn't formatted. Click OK on the box on the right (the one asking you to choose between MBR and GPT). You'll want to leave it as GPT. Once you do that you'll need to right click on the unallocated space (the black bar) and create a new volume. Format it as NTFS and you'll be good to go.
