Hey guys, I've been looking at other similar threads and have tried troubleshooting this issue to no avail. My secondary drive, a WD Black 1 TB, does not show up in disk management nor the file structure within Win 10 (cannot see the drive in the "This PC" folder). It shows in device manager, however the info displayed is limited, and it also shows in bios. I have tried plugging into a different SATA port, problem persisted.

I have a Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5, and I have updated all drivers etc.

Thanks in advance!

Disregard...after further messing around, I discovered ?storage pools? Once I saw the option to assign a letter to the drive and choose a drive format, I thought I was in luck. Based on seeing others with this issue, perhaps this will be helpful to someone else.

Correct, it was showing in the BIOS as well as device manger, but not in disk management. Was pulling my hair out until I stumbled into what I described above...now I've move on to wanting to throw my monitor as it keeps randomly going off for about a second or two then coming back on. I had updated all drivers, looking into it now..monitor my wife has used without any trouble (that I'm aware of).
