Seagate 3TB HDD not getting detected by computer

WD 3TB works just fine.

Last time I changed my hard disk, I changed all the SATA cables on the computer. So they are not more than 10 months old.

It's not about the new or old. But it's the type of sata cable (clip type) that adds a extra layer of security to the hdd when compared to ordinary sata cables. Personal experience. My 1 TB hdd is going to complete 4 yrs without any bad sector. it runs more than 8 hrs everday. Straight 48 hrs on sats & suns ...

So, they delivered a product to my house yesterday. But no one was at my house when they came to pick up the hard disk?

coolermaster has a nasty reputation of providing unclean power. first get a new reliable PSU.

If he has an old extremepower PSU or around that generation, yes, i agree. I had a total shithouse of a 600w extremepower that died within a month, this was ages ago though. Their newer V series are Seasonic OEMs and are extremely good though, and come highly recommended.
If it is an older CM psu though, Ashish is right, do change it.
