I got my new USB 3.0 SATA Hard Drive docking station today but when I installed it and inserted the 14 TB hard drive I have it won't read. So I started searching online for solutions.
The info: I have a refurbished Dell Optiplex 9020 running Windows 10 Pro. I have an older Sabrent external drive station that has no problem reading both of my large 12 & 14 TB hard drives. I know its not the computer that has the problem.
Both drives are GB NTFS formatted with one partition. Its not the MBR type thus needs a firmware update to be read.
I went to Sabrent's support page, entered in the model number, downloaded the firmware update and powered up the docking station without the drive inserted. The operation was successful but when I reinserted the drive it still was not being read by Windows OS.
This is the firmware update I used: JMS583_FWUpdate_Utility_v1_0_0_8
Is there something else I need to do? I would like to be able to use this docking bay as I like the cooling fan option.
NOTE: I CAN boot up a 6 TB hard drive with this docking station. The larger drives are not reading.
Any ideas?
