All I can suggest at this point, is to think carefully about

Why I like "the idea" of coming off a docking station, so far as
setting up a drive. My largest DS firmware support being 2T, I've
certainly aways to go [w/out a 3T drive to my name], although being
USB, there should be a layer [of USB transpostions, i.e., from within
the station's firmware] non-specifically addressed to the MB's BIOS;-
interesting distinction how that differs from an added SATA port my
stations haven't.

Anyways, slap up that baby upside any ol' USB2/3 port, a baseline
compliancy, and the given software/OS originally used to establish the
drive's geometry [reported to the OS] theoretically should be good to
go to work.

That's a good point.

The right USB disc enclosure, might just do it. Select a
USB enclosure where it states in the advert, that it handles
a 3TB or 4TB disk. I think some of the USB3 ones advertise such,
and the USB3 one can be plugged into a USB2 port. I plug my USB3
flash key into USB2 ports all the time.
