The 5V supply is the one which could stop the drive being recognised if it is low. The logic board talks to the CPU's controller, and it uses 5V. It controls 12 V , but otherwise doesn't worry about it. Graham L (2)

If you pulled out your old 8GB HDD does the SATA spin up??

Any jumper pins on the SATA drive - yes or no??

As they can only be configured as masters not slaves.
