Faulty HDD?

[theDTP]

So I have this new build with a Samsung 240GB boot drive, I've tried multiple HDD's for storage with only success but when I use the supplied HDD that came with the other parts (building this rig for a friend, he chose the parts) it just bleeps twice with a faint tick like *bip... beeep* and does nothing, it shown itself once and said it had 128GB and when I tried to format it I got a message saying "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error."

The drive is a "Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB"

I'm guessing DoA but I could be wrong.

Check your SATA connections, I/O error is refering to that.

Obvious question, but have you tried different SATA ports?

​

I've tried multiple HHD's with the same port and cable, I've tried the SSD in the HDD port, I've tried the HDD in the port where I usually have the SSD... All witih success.

I've tried the HDD in my own PC, didn't work
