Refer the arrow below: > > Do you get different sg_readcap -l output when accessing it in UAS mode? > I.e. is lbpme=1? Afraid, no :-( I was excited for a brief moment, but it's the same as earlier. The result with the SSD via 'Thunderbolt': $> sudo sg_readcap -l /dev/sdc Read Capacity results: Protection: prot_en=0, p_type=0, p_i_exponent=0 Logical block provisioning: lbpme=0, lbprz=0 Last logical block address=976773167 (0x3a38602f), Number of logical blocks=976773168 Logical block length=512 bytes Logical blocks per physical block exponent=0 Lowest aligned logical block address=0 Hence: Device size: 500107862016 bytes, 476940.0 MiB, 500.11 GB /me naively wonders if it has anything to do with accessing it via Linux. -- /kashyap
