SSD not showing up :(

I just purchased a 480GB Kingston SSDnow V300 Series HD for my Black MacBook because I killed the last one

So I went to format it on my iMac and I can't get it to come up anywhere... Not in Finder, not in disk utility.

Tried another house... Tried another cable...

Am I doing something wrong?

I tried first to just install it into my MacBook and format via OSX bootup but it didn't show it - I was fearful my sata cable went.

Then I tried with the external case and USB that came with the HD to my iMac with nothing.

Then I used my OWC FireWire external case to my iMac with nothing.

Is it just a bad hd?
