Hi Unraid Ninjas,

I am fairly new to unraid and have recently installed a Western Digital Red Hard Drive. This hard drive is detected by the bios however unraid does not see it, or at least it does not appear in "unrecognized devices". Whats the next step? Should I boot to a linux USB drive and format the western digital? Take it out and use another computer to format? 

Thank you and I have attached my diagnostics.

Disk is failing to initialize, try swapping cables/port with a different disk, if issue remains it's likely a disk problem.
