About 6 months ago I decided to upgrade my power supply to a 850w for sli but when I set it all up and went to boot and It loaded up windows which I had on a ssd, but when I went to open up my HDD'S they where not showing, switched power supply and still nothing I couldnt find them in disk management or anything. Any way to revive these HDD'S?

I see. Did you check if the drives spin-up at all with your computer or a different one? If they don't spin up and you need to recover data, perhaps your only option for data recovery would be a professional solution, such as a data recovery company. If you don't need to recover any files, you could get in touch with the vendor you got the drives from or their manufacturers' customer support, to see if you can RMA them.

Hey there, Jack.

Are they recognized by your BIOS/UEFI with any of the PSUs? Do they actually spin-up when you start the computer? Do you have data which you need to recover from them?

For now, I'd recommend that you try the drives with different SATA power cables, or even better - with a different computer, to see if the same thing happens. If you have data which you need to recover from them and they do spin-up, you could download their manufacturers' diagnostic tools, to see if the drives are recognized and just check the SMART data without running any tests just yet.

Hope that helps. Please let me know how everything goes.

Tried all of the above the mate, not picking up my HDD's anywhere.
