Windows 10: Disk disconnects while formating.

Hi there, I recently bought a new hard drive, and I am trying to format it to NTFS file system using the disk management tool. I can see the disk in the manager and I can create a partition and assign letter to it currentlye: see image 1 bellow. Every time it fails after few seconds, the disk disappears from the manager see image 2 bellow. The only way to show the disk again is to shut down the computer and start it again.


Here is a link to various related logs including event viewer: One drive


I have also tried to format it using the "/format e: /q /fs:NTFS /v:Backup"command, this returns the following error: "Write failure with status 0xc000000e at offset 0xc0000400 for 0xc00 bytes.
Format failed."


I have also tried using disk part "clean all", this will start and after while it will return: "DiskPart has encountered an error: A device which does not exist was specified. See the System Event Log for more information."


Volume 9 RAW Partition 5589 GB Healthy
* Disk 4 Online 5589 GB 0 B *

Additional info:

• Disk type: Seagate Barracuda 6 TB.
• 
  Yes, I can see the disc in bios.
  
  
• 
  Yes, it is set to GPT.
  
  
• 
  There are no jumpers set on the back side.
  
  
• 
  I have run seatools diagnostics for the drive, it passes all basic tests without error.
  
  
• 
  I have tried two different SATA cables and SATA slots same result.
  

Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
