I would venture a guess the issue is related to the USB3 to SATA bridge chip. Below are what I have in my possession and what I found with my D53427RKE .
Sabrent USB3 to SATA - ASM1051 - works without issue
Patriot Gauntlet 2 - ASM1053 - drive not recognized
StarTech.com USB3S2SAT3CB - ASM1051E (according to website) - drive not recognized
Additionally, all three work without issue on my base Win 7 x64 image used for deployment with no drivers/software/antivirus.
