What do I need to do to get my 8TB drive to show up again?
I installed Windows 10. The 8 TB hard drive worked great; I used it externally (see Amazon link).
The current setup is as follows:
A 4TB disk is connected externally
The Windows 10 operating system is located on a 1TB (SS)
Internally an 8TB (HDD)
and a 4TB (HDD)
The 8TB is not displayed.
I've already looked at partitions, it doesn't appear.
I have connected the cables correctly
The power connection is also plugged in correctly. Everything worked before.
I treated the 8TB carefully.
I ordered a new SATA cable.

What does it look like in the media administration? What is the HDD shown? Please post a screenshot…
If the 8TB HDD does not appear there, you can try another cable and another SATA port.
If it still doesn’t, check if the HDD starts or not. You feel that when you keep your hand on it…
If you don’t start, try another power cable. If the problem is not solved, the HDD is a case for a professional data savior or garbage can.
Show the HDD to the converter (see above) (Link)
Got access. How to do this with the screenshots. I’ve been looking stupid and stupid.
Become the Sata cable today. How to exchange the power cables?
On Windows with the Snipping Tool.
Edit question -> Add question and then you can add an image and text.
how to post a picture here that is the question!!!
MS 7848 is Medion (MSI) (Intel H81, or H87 chipset)
Your motherboard has been on the hump for many years and it may be possible that it does not support 8 TB hard drives at internal SATA ports, but only up to 4 TB
Another option would be that you can use only a maximum of 3 drives on the 4 SATA ports of your motherboard, WENN! you also connected a BD DVD drive to your motherboard in your PC.
Example how he could stand in a motherboard manual (own formulation)
SATA Port 3, or 4 cannot be used (will be disabled) if an SSD drive is connected to SATA Port 1-2 …
So if only 1x SATA Port (internal) were left to use an HDD, you would also use a BD DVD drive.
Interchange only the SATA cable connectors internally “to the HDD’s” and then start the PC, if the 8 TB HDD is then displayed in Windows, you can assume that the previously used SATA connector is disabled as you have connected an SSD drive.
My hardware configuration would look like this PC (with BD-DVD):
SATA Port 1 = SSD, / SATA Port 2 = HDD / SATA Port 3, or 4 = BD-DVD (depending on which of both have been deactivated due to the use of an SSD drive).
Acquiring an additional internal PCI-E SATA3 controller with two SATA3 ports could “possibly” be a cost-effective solution to use more internal HDDs. for example:
BEYIMEI PCI Express SATA(Pcle), PCI Express to SATA 3.0 Controller Card,2-Port SATA III 6Gbps Extension PCI-E (1X 4X 8X 16X) Cards for Windows10/7/8/XP/Vista/linux etc. Support SSD
I can’t write more about it.
