Hey guys, so this is my first time dealing with Solid State Drives. 

 

I got an SSD today, it's a PNY XLR8, but my computer isn't detecting it. I tried using different Sata cables, and still nothing. 

 

Is there something special I need to do since it's a completely blank drive?

| SSD: PNY 120gb | HHD: WD Blue 1tb | PSU: Cooler Master 750W |

Try going into Disk Management and right click on the SSD and press on initialize disk.
