The eSATA docking bay on my PC case is detecting 1.6 TB on any HDD > 1.6 TB that is attached to it. Four different HDD (2,3,4,4) TB all show as 1.6 TB when attached to the bay all other sata ports and USB connected HDD show correct capacity. Also, all the HDD are GPT.
 
is this a new issue or is it a new dock? could be limited to 2TB or smaller drives.
 
I have had the case for about 4 years. I have never used the built-in bay. I have a dual HDD USB 3.1 docking station which I use. I am doing a secure wipe of multiple HDD. The built-in bay is connected to a 6GB SATA port of an Intel H77 chipset. There is a 6TB HDD connected to the other SATA 6GB port and it detects all 6 TB.
