PC's [ not laptops]
HDD works with MB sata direct connect - tested.
Will try some other HDD later, but
with this working HDD i should get 'drive' listed [ not talking about partition]

Drive is partitioned and have NTFS part. and
visible on direct sata mb connection.
Also NO indication on Win "device manager" that new device is connected - NO REFRESH,
Like nothing was connected, and i can hear hdd heads parked in 10s afte dock power on.
Drive should spin even without usb cable connected.

Had the same issue. Went to disk management and found the drive in the dock station was mapped to the same drive letter as another storage device on the computer. I mapped the storage device to another drive letter and got the dock station drive to show up.
