  Hello, I bought SABRENT USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drive Lay-Flat Docking Station for 2.5 or 3.5in HDD, SSD [Support UASP and 20TB] (EC-DFLT) and it worked fine on all my 500GB Western Digital External Drives but not on my new 2TB Western Digital External Drive ( unformatted ).
  

  So, i Downloaded the Firmware Update as suggested and restarted Windows 7 but the Drive still not showing up.  What i am missing here ?... Thanks.

  @EDGAR ALEGRE Do you mean internal drive? If external and shucked, be sure it is capable of working that way. Also make sure the drive is with 512B (512e) and not 4KB (4Kn) sectors. See if the drive shows up in Disk Management and, if not, check that it's not assigned to a pool in Storage Spaces. Will pass this on.
