I apologize I didn't click on the links to see the hardware................ I would think that drive is not going to show up till the BIOS recognizes it........... I've never plugged in a regular HDD while the comp was on and then had the OS pick it up...........That's been my exp. Try booting from that drive through USB. Then switch it back........sometimes my drives won't show up till I boot from them.

Now my BIOS is severely robust and it has USB-HDD options etc.....

If you want to check out the BIOS:

BIOSIdentify1.exe

Drop it in admin prompt hit enter and it gives the BIOS info.

Example:
