It won't work on non-Intel USB 3.0 host controllers.
Because it has been modified, it is unsigned. To install unsigned drivers on Windows 8, you have to do a few backflips.

Carminus - did this fix your issues?
We're also seeing many customers with USB 3.0 docking stations (like our UD-3000 http://plugable.com/products/UD-3000) for whom the docking station doesn't appear reliability on the USB bus on USB 3.0 on Windows 8 -- but does work perfectly when attached with USB 2.0. And this is only with Windows 8 machines. It appears to be a problem with USB 3.0 updates that Microsoft deployed right around the time of Windows 8's release (since they weren't seen earlier in the pre-release cycle).
We'd love to provide solutions to our customers for this, but hate to point users at an unsigned driver package that replaces the Microsoft one on Windows 8 -- but right now the only alternative is plugging into a USB 2.0 port or using a USB 2.0 cable, which causes everything to drop into USB 2.0 mode and work fine.
Thanks for anyone else who can chime in here with their experiences!

The displaydock (SD3500v) would not work prior to the modified drivers. The native driver it would not even correctly detect the docking station. After the win 7 modified drivers it worked like a charm. I added the readme file in it when I compressed and uploaded the needed files with the credit and the forum link.
Yes, they are for INTEL USB 3 only. Sorry I forgot to post it. I am using this driver with a dell XPS 13.
Edit- I should add once I added the intel usb 3.0 extensible driver I also had to go back and install the intel usb 3.0 root hub by using the same steps as the extensible host controller. Otherwise, from what I remember the usb ports did not work until I went back and installed the hub.
Edit #2- The ultrabook xps 13 only has two usb ports the right side is usb 3, left side (where the power jack is) is usb 2. Neither worked with native drivers, now they both work fine.
