I have a Crucial XM100 256GB SSD as my main hard drive. I had just bought a second SSD(same exact one) and a WD Blue 1TB HDD. I have installed them both and my computer isn't detecting either of them? It's only detecting my main one..
Build specs:
Asus Z97-A motherboard
Intel i54590S 3.0Ghz processor
EVGA Supernova 650 watt Gold modular
Corsair hydro series H100i water cooling
EVGA GeForce GTX 760 superclocked
G.Skill Sniper Series 1866 16GB memory
Fractal define Design R4 case

Make sure the power and SATA connectors are firmly seated on the SSD and hard drive. Do you hear the hard drive spinning up?

Are the recognized in the BIOS?

In disk manager - what is it showing there?

In the BIOS it has the two SSDs in there but not the WD HDD
. But when I boot up windows 8 and go to my files it only has the main one shown.

Control Panel - do a search for create and format hard disk partitions - disk management will appear. This should display the drives that are recognized in BIOS.

Are both SSDs and the hard drive connected to the grey SATA ports on the mobo?
