*map (title typo :()

I'm pretty confused by this!

Here the disk connected via a USB dock:


Things are good! This is the partition map I expect. I can access the files on the exFAT partition.

Here's the same disk on onboard SATA:


Things are bad! What are these partitions?

I've tried both an Intel SATA port and a 3rd party chipset SATA port on my mobo with the same result. My motherboard is a Gigabyte Z170X-UD which is pretty recent, so I'd think 4TB (for example) wouldn't be an issue. My firmware is up-to-date.

I'm on Windows 10 x64.

Any ideas, friends?

Another example - another 4TB disk that exhibits the same problem:

USB:


Correct!

SATA:


Nope!

Are you using the same USB dock in both of these examples? Were the drives formatted while attached via USB or SATA?

It's a good question, but I do not remember!

The Sabrent site seems to leave much to be desired in terms of support, but it does look like there is a firmware update for that dock on there:

You could also verify the driver being used and make sure it is the one from their site and not some generic USB driver.
