GIGABYTE Z97 UDH3 doesn't recongnize new 2.5" HD

No matter what I do it just doesn't want to recognize the HD.
The disc is spinning, it has power.
Using the same SATA cable as another working drive doesn't help.
I seriously doubt the HD is DOA.

Is the drive recognised in BIOS?

Have you formatted the drive?

Have you assigned a drive letter?

We need to know the HDD details. Size, brand, type. If it is not recognized in the bios, I would try to update the bios first.
Any HDD over 2TB can be very tricky to setup. And some require a bios update to install. Some hybrid HDD do not show up
in the bios and require special software for installation. Like a WD's hybrid HDD.

If you are trying to install a notebook HDD in a desktop, it will not work without an adapter/converter.
