Usually, there are 2 cables (power and data) and the data cable has 2 ends to check. That's three. You only mention one thing you took out and in again.

I have an SSD hard drive that is connected with 2 cables. That hard drive works fine, and the D drive is connected with the SSD so there should be no problem with the connections or should it be power on that one also? Happy (I can hear that it is running)

I found it out, it was the power cable that was connected thats why it was running, the data cable was not connected, it was laying behind so I couldn't see it. Thanks for the help!
