New 4tb SSD shows up as 0 bytes in CMD: diskpart -> listdisk

I got a 4tb SSD to clone my 1TB SSD onto so that I have more space. I got a new SSD and a drive enclosure for the cloning, and the SSD is plugged into the enclosure and the enclosure's light is on. The drive is entirely unlisted in disk partitions app, and when I got to command line to check on it, and type diskpart and then list disk, I see only a 0 byte drive. I know it is the new drive as when I unplug/replug, the drive disappears and reappears. How do I get Windows to recognize the new drive's storage space and have it listed in disk partitions?

I have tried select disk and then clean, nothing happened.

Picture shows SSD disconnected (top) and then connected (bottom)

I already have 1 4tb SSD (Disk 1), I am trying to add a second(Disk 2)

Hello, JG143

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are having problems with the space size display on your hard disk.

I have some options for you to try:

Partition the disk for your new hard drive, see this link for the steps:

Create and format a hard disk partition - Microsoft Support

Perform a disk check on the disk, if the disk is already partitioned properly, you can try chkdsk command to check the disk

Press Windows + R to open the Run window. When the Run window opens, type cmd and press Enter.

At the command prompt, type chkdsk F: /R and press Enter (where F is the drive letter showing size 0)

Disclaimer: Running chkdsk checks the file system and file system metadata of a volume for logical and physical errors. To avoid unnecessary trouble, please follow the above steps step by step, and do not interrupt or cancel during the run, and make a backup of important data. 

Best Regards.
