All my USB 3.0 external HDDs show correctly under the VMware Player removable Devices, but will not connect. The error msg references the correct device name, but only also says "Driver error" for each when I try to connect from either USB 3.0 port on my laptop. They all connect on my USB 2.0 ports.
