No they're not, there's nothing in the USB specs that say this. UAS will specifically require it. The problem is we don't trust USB manufacturers with standards compliance any further than they could spit a rat, so we assume when they say they conform to SCSI-3 or above that they must have got it wrong and push it back down to SCSI-2. Because of this, no-one actually knows how many working SCSI-3 USB devices we might have supported.
