I am trying to use a Thermaltake Blacx Duet (ST0015) HDD Docking Station with my Linux computers (Linux Mint and Ubuntu, all latest).
I have a SATA disk plugged in one of the bays and when I connect it to a USB port with its cable (everything is brand new) nothing happens.
lsusb returns:

The only message in dmesgrelated to usb is:
[ 474.891877] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage
which I understand means that the usb-storage module is loaded.
Same behavior in Ubuntu.
Does this mean that the hardware is just incompatible or is there anything more I can try?
