16TB Drive not appearing in Windows. It's as if it doesn't even exist. Thoughts? (zerobytes.monster)

I bought a new 16TB HDD from NewEgg, and when I plug it in, Windows refuses to even acknowledge it's existence. I've seen other threads where people will show Windows showing it "corrupted" or bad, or that it's slow to load, but in my situation it doesn't even appear AT ALL! Even going through Disk Manager / Partitioner, it's not in there. I've attempted different SATA cables/power cords (which have just recently worked on other HDD's, by the way) but still no luck. I really hope the drive isn't dead on arrival. Any other suggestions?
