    cant use 3rd hd on my dell pc

    hello i have a dell optiplex 7010
    replaced the processor ( i7-2600)
    added a gpu (old Radeon)
    replaced the psu (500 watt)
    replaced the hd with 2 ssd’s
    added ram
    but for some reason… it wont detect the 3rd hard drive although i feel it spinning

          Is this a new drive or one that way laying around and how old is it?

          How does the Drive connect to the system?

          Does the BIOS and Windows recognize it if just the OS drive, and it are connected?

                    Desktop
                    Ultra small form factor
                    small form factor

                              Reading through your manual it should work.
                              have you tried the drive with only it and the C: drive connected
