It doesn't work for some users, this is probably why. Also, eSata may/may not work with your motherboard.
Try this from Thermaltakes site: *** Only use if the HDD does not show up in the disk management.***

kwoker said:I have one of these. It handles Seagate 2TB drives. Well, I had 2 1.5TB Seagate ordered from Dell last time, and it'd not registered at all, it showed in the Device Manager, but won't show in My Computer. What do I need to do to get it show up? Again, thanks in advance.

Did you actually initialize those drives and create partitions using disk manager? These extenal Thermaltake docking stations have no bus translation electronics. They are nothing more than a external power supply and data connection for your SATA drive thus they will work with ALL current and future capacity SATA drives.

No, how can I do that? Show me, thanks again....I plugged in SATA 500GB from WD work fine, but when I tried the 1.5 TB Seagate, nothing shown in My Computer.

Is that 20% off your entire order? I'm thinking about ordering a bigger ticket item - an ASUS EEETop machine for about $400. That would give me another $80 Cash Back, right?

I gave up, can't get it work, went to Seagate site and firmware was OK, it showed in the disk management but does not show in my computer. BTW, I am using Dell laptop with Vista Ultimate. Thanks anyway....
