ESXI 8 Not finding drive? - eviltoast

Bought a 4TB HDD for my ESXi server, but it’s not seeing the drive. I’ve tried partitioning it on my Ubuntu desktop, tried putting it in completely formatted, for some reason ESXi just can’t see it. Any ideas?

    for some reason ESXi just can’t see it.

    1. Is it formatted in GPT?
    2. What motherboard did you get? We don’t have any information to go on. Is the SATA controller on this board even slightly on the HCL of ESXi?
    3. What are the system specs to begin with even?! Come on, throw us a bone here…
