So I built my computer yesterday with a Asus z170-a Motherboard and a Samsung evo ssd and a wd blue hdd. Today I installed the drivers from the asus website. The ssd already worked, but the hdd is not being detected. They both are in the BIOS and they are both in my device manager. I am running Windows 10 Pro 64bit. Some one please help me! Why is my HDD not showing up  in my file explorer.

Right click on the windows Icon on the bottom left side, then click on Computer Management. Once you've done that, click onto disk management(left hand side) then you should get a pop-up asking you to create the volume.
