Put the new SSD in the dock, connected dock to MacBook Pro, but the SSD was not being recognised at all in Finder or in Disk Utility. The original HDD was still working (but painfully slow), so i had intended to use a SATA III to USB3.0 dock to clone the HDD to the new SSD prior to removing the old HDD and installing the SSD. I had the same issue - bought a new Samsung EVO 860 SSD for my early 2011 MacBook Pro 13 inch running OS X Yosemite.
