Of course the NAS isn't seeing SATA, it's seeing a USB drive.
From the NAS point of view your dock looks like a USB hub with multiple USB drives attached. I've seen other cases (particularly with legacy NAS) where USB hubs had similar problems. In some of those cases, using a different hub worked.
If you happen to have a standalone usb hub (usb 2 or 3), you could try putting that hub in between the NAS and the dock as a test (just to see if the NAS detects both of the drives). It's a long shot, but easy to try.
You could also try connecting multiple USB drives to a hub (if you have them), and see if the NAS detects those properly.
Yes, I have tried all the ports, like I stated in my orginal post.
Thank you for the suggestions, I will try those.
