Hi, I purchased WD 6TB Black HDD(WD6001FZWX), I am using this on my laptop(Win7, 64Bit). I am using "Quantom Zero USB3.0 to SATA III docing station" to connect the HDD.
I've tried almost everything to get this working, but every time I get the error while formatting the disk. When I go to `Disk Management`the dialogue pops up and ask if I want to use MBR or GPT partition style. I tried to select both at different times, but I get an error pop by saying "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.” and “Incorrect function." I also tried to diagnose my HDD with WD diagnosis tool, it passes the quick test. But when I try to `write zeros` option, the operation gets failed with some error message.
I tried to connect another 2TB Seagate HDD on the same doc, that works fine and I am able to access the data. So I don't thing there is anything wrong with Docing station.
Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

I'd suggest you try to initialize it while plugged to a PC (if you have access to one). You should also try running the EXTENDED test from the WD's Data LifeGuard Diagnostics tool and see if it passes that test. If the I/O device error persists, I'd strongly recommend you to get in touch with our
