Asrock B450 Gaming-ITX / ac board with Ryzen 3600. Samsung 970 PRO NVMe M.2 512GB SSD and HDD WD 12TB SATA3 in addition are installed.
The problem is that the HDD is seen in the BIOS, but Windows 10 it is not even in the devices (not to be confused with the initialization of the disk in the system). In the BIOS (updated), by the way, you cannot select it as bootable.
How to make the system correctly see the SATA HDD?
I understand that somehow it is connected with the fact that the NVMe M.2 drive is installed, but not all the same, now the SATA ports are not working?
The system does not see it in any of the SATA ports except the BIOS.

If this is a new HDD, you need to initialize it. Type Disk Management in Windows search to open the tool, and partition the drive.
