Hi all!

I recently picked up a used 4TB WD Gold for my main PC. I plugged it in to my PC, and the drive isn't being detected. When I power on the PC, the drive appears to spin up, before eventually spinning down and shutting off. The SATA port and cable I'm using is 100% working. Also, the drive sounds OK, there is no click of death or anything else of the sort. Does anyone know what the issue could be?

Thanks!
