Computer won't recognize new harddrive

I'll try to keep this short while giving enough information.

My desktop has a 5-disk configuration for video editing. The primary disk (C:) is 1.5TB that's about 50% full and the others are 2.0TB disks. I need to replace the primary drive (C:) with a 4TB WD Black disk and plan to clone the old drive with AOMEI Pro. Unfortunately, I cannot get my desktop (or my laptop for that matter) to recognize the new disk. I've tried an onboard slot on my desktop, as well as a USB/SATA cable on both the laptop and the desktop (The cable is a SATA III, but I presume it's backward compatible, if necessary.) I cannot see the new disk in Disk Manager or Aomei either. I'm starting to think the new disk is bad.

Any suggestions?
Chas.
