I have tried troubleshooting from all over the internet. Here is the situation:
The drive is recognized in BIOS. It is also recognized in Device Manager. However, when I go to disk management it does not show up.
I have tried:
-Uninstalling and reinstalling drivers
-Disabling and re-enabling the device.
-Using a different sata cable
-Using a different sata port
-Reinstalling windows
-Resetting windows
-Installing Samsung's proprietary software "Samsung Magician"
-I have checked BIOS to make sure it is in ACHI mode and it appears to be as far as I can tell, although I am no expert at reading BIOS.
My first instinct is that it was broken when it was shipped, but would it be recognized by Device Manager/BIOS then?
Just in case it matters, my Windows is installed on a 250gb SSD, and I have a 2tb HDD connected. The rest of the build is:
CPU: i5 6600
Graphics Card: GTX 970
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 3 LGA1151
PSU: 800W
Case: Corsair Air 540
