Hi @Joshua A!

 

It's not a good sign that you can barely feel any vibrations coming from the drive. Can you see the drive in BIOS? If not you can try the basic troubleshooting steps and see if the HDD will be recognized there:

 

1. Since you've tried to connect it with a different SATA cable and it didn't helped, plug it in a different SATA port of the motherboard.

 

2. In case it is not recognized try to plug it in a different computer - that is the best way to see if the problem is with the drive, or with the motherboard of the computer.

 

Let me know how it went. :)

If this post helped you, please like and choose it as a best answer.   :)
