Hello, I own a recent build featuring a PCIE SSD for the operating system and a traditional HDD for storage. The issue is that the HDD isn't appearing in the BIOS at all. I've attempted to switch to legacy mode, but it didn't help. Tried enabling CSM, which also failed. RAID options were considered, but they weren't visible in the BIOS settings. I've spent a lot of time trying to resolve this and haven't found a solution that works for my specific setup. All the advice I've received either doesn't apply or has different configurations.

Test each SATA port individually using a distinct cable. Do you notice the drive operating upon system startup?

I've tested various ports and cables, but nothing worked. Checking the drive's sound and vibrations didn't produce any noise or movement. I assumed it might be dead, yet I wanted to explore alternatives before returning it.

When there’s no sound or movement and it’s properly connected to power (especially for a modular PSU), it’s likely not working. It should start on its own, even if the motherboard doesn’t recognize it.

Considered carefully... Thought it could just be my mistake. Alright, I’ll try again. Appreciate the prompt response!
