Portable SSD

I recently bought a 240GB SSD and a USB3.0 caddy to put the drive in.

Connecting it up to various windows machines the drive is just recognised as a USB 3.0 device in the device list, but not as a storage device.

Connecting it to Macs, the Macs instantly recognised what the device was and it works fine.

My preference is to use it with my Macs, so its not a big issue I must sort out. Just I'm wondering if anyone knows why the Windows PC's failed to identify the drive as a storage device in the same way my Macs have?
