Check "dmesg" output
run "ls /dev | grep sd" and look for the sdX devices
run "sudo fdisk -l" and look for the drive in the output
run "lsblk" and look for the missing device in the output
run "mount" and see what devices are mounted
run "df" and look for the missing device

The first 4 commands will tell you if the device is seen by the system, the last 2 will tell you if it is mounted and available.

I suspect it may not be mounted so the file manager cannot access it.

ls /dev | grep sd
That is a pipe symbol between /dev and grep. The pipe symbol is the vertical bar on the key above the enter key at far right that also has the \ symbol.

lsblk and fdisk -l should also give the info needed.

The posted output from "ls /dev" is only partial

The output of lsblk looks like /dev/sdc is your second HDD, but shows no partitions, thus it can't be mounted and used.

You will need to add a partition (or more) to it, format a file system on the new partition(s), then fix /etc/fstab to mount it as appropriate before you can see it in the file manager.
