External hard drive not being recognized by Windows virtual machine on Mac

Using: VMWare Fusion 8.0.0, El Capitan 10.11.4 on MacBook Pro (Late 2013), Windows 10 x64 (trial version by the way), LaCie 1TB Porsche Design Mobile Drive (USB 3.0, NTFS)

Goal: Read/write/delete/etc on exteal hard drive (I'm just going to abbreviate this as EHD) in virtual Windows environment

Problem: Windows can see the EHD because it's listed under 'Devices and Printers', but it's listed as an 'Unspecified' device. Needless to say, it caot be found in 'This PC' (aka 'My Computer')

Process leading up to problem: 1) Plug EHD via USB 3.0 into Mac, 2) Click 'Coect to Windows' (or something like that) when Mac prompts where to coect the EHD to, 3) Ensure it is not mounted in Mac environment and check in virtual Windows environment, it is not in 'This PC' ('My Computer')

What I have tried: I have coected the EHD to my virtual machine by going to Virtual Machine --> USB & Bluetooth --> Coect EHD. I have tried using the different USB ports on my Mac. I have ensured it is not mounted in the Mac environment. I have tried mapping it as a letter drive, but it can't be located/identified/found.

What I know: I know the EHD works because when I coect it to my work laptop, it shows up under 'My Computer', and I can read/write/delete on it
