OSS 13.1, USB3 PCIe Card, and Seagate Ext HDD Not Functioning

Silly me, all of me research showed that USB 3.0 should work out of the box with openSUSE 13.1 (with Linux in general).
My PC does not have USB3 so I went to MicroCenter and bought a PCIe USB 3 card and a Seagate external USB3 HDD.
The devices are:

Vantec 4-Port USB 3.0 PCI-e card, UGT-PC345
Seagate "Backup PLus" USB 3.0, 3TB external HDD, STCA 3000101

Hardware info shows the PCIe card as:
Renesas Technology Corp. uPD720201 USB 3.0 Host Controller

When I plug the Seagate drive into the PCIe card's external USB 3 connector nothing happens.
Device notifier does not pop up telling me a device was connected.

The Seagate drive uses an external power adapter - which IS plugged in.

Any ideas?
