I am trying to connect a external drive to my computer and it uses a USB 3.0 interface/connector. I have a USB 3.0 to eSATA adapter am connected it to my computer via the eSATA port on my computer and it doesn't seem to pop up. Is there something wrong with the cable or the port itself? (I have AHCI and eSATA enabled in the BIOS).

Dell Latitude E6520
