2 dead hard drives?

I have 2 Seagate Barracuda 2TB Hard drives. The first one was recognized by my mobo and OS but once I wrote to it there would be a write error after ~150MB. Now that one is not showing up in my mobo (on boot it says how many SATA devices are connected and, although there are 3 drives total hooked up to the system, it only shows my SSD) and the other doesn't show up at all.

 

I can hear the hard drives spin to life when I turn the PC on, and I replaced the SATA cables. Do I have 2 faulty drives?

qυoтe мe pleaѕe!

Me at the Apple store: "So how fast is this little macbook?"

Apple employee: "Cheetah Fast. Lightning Fast. It's Really, really, fast."

I highly doubt you have 2 bad hard drives, its extremely unlikely. A faulty sata controller on your motherboard, is very possible.  

that's probably the problem, but the other motherboards the easiest way to check it probably
