Windows 10: Adding new 8TB internal Seagate Storage

I recently purchased an 8TB Seagate internal drive for extra storage. After plugging it all in I get the "Your Pc ran into a problem and needs to restart," screen. I have never had any issue adding storage before. I thought it was a bad drive so I replaced it with the same one a second time and it still crashes. Any ideas what this could be?
