WD Desktop Black 4TB HD not visible.
I just purchased a WD Desktop Black 4TB hard disc (SATA 6Gb/s (SATA 3.0), 64MB Cache, 7200RPM, 3.5", Dual processor). I have installed it in my home built tower computer. I can use the cable for the drive to get other drives to work, but I can't take a cable from another drive and get the new drive to show in Ubuntu 12.04, nor will the drive work when I connect it to the cable that came with the drive. It is my understanding that the SATA 3 controller can figure out for itself which channel each drive should run on without manually switching channels. Does this mean that my new drive is faulty?
