The SATA adapter has a power input, but it is not used, it is connected to the PC with Y-type USB cable. The disk works with my "smart" TV, it works with Windows on the same machine, it also had worked some time ago with Linux, but now it shows the following: [ 2192.027213] usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 5 using xhci_hcd [ 2192.042323] ums-cypress 1-3:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected [ 2192.042500] scsi9 : usb-storage 1-3:1.0 [ 2193.044219] scsi 9:0:0:0: Direct-Access WDC WD64 00BPVT-00HXZT0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 [ 2193.045083] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdb] 1250263728 512-byte logical blocks: (640 GB/596 GiB) [ 2193.045240] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off [ 2193.045245] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 [ 2193.045384] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdb] No Caching mode page found [ 2193.045388] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 2193.046259] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdb] No Caching mode page found [ 2193.046264] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 2193.054389] sdb: sdb1 [ 2193.055092] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdb] No Caching mode page found [ 2193.055095] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 2193.055098] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI disk [ 2200.821345] usb 1-3: reset high-speed USB device number 5 using xhci_hcd [ 2200.835063] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: xHCI xhci_drop_endpoint called with disabled ep ffff8800bc71e480 [ 2200.835068] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: xHCI xhci_drop_endpoint called with disabled ep ffff8800bc71e4c0 [ 2267.897715] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdb] Unhandled sense code [ 2267.897719] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdb] [ 2267.897721] Result: hostbyte=0x07 driverbyte=0x08 [ 2267.897722] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdb] [ 2267.897724] Sense Key : 0x4 [current] [ 2267.897735] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdb] [ 2267.897736] ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0 [ 2267.897738] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdb] CDB: [ 2267.897740] cdb[0]=0x28: 28 00 4a 85 6e af 00 00 08 00 [ 2267.897746] end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 1250258607 [ 2267.897750] Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 625129272 [ 2267.897752] Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 625129273 [ 2267.897753] Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 625129274 [ 2267.897754] Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 625129275 [ 2270.884154] usb 1-3: USB disconnect, device number 5 Bus 001 Device 010: ID 14cd:6116 Super Top M6116 SATA Bridge Device Descriptor: bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 2.00 bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level) bDeviceSubClass 0 bDeviceProtocol 0 bMaxPacketSize0 64 idVendor 0x14cd Super Top idProduct 0x6116 M6116 SATA Bridge bcdDevice 1.50 iManufacturer 1 Super Top iProduct 3 USB 2.0 SATA BRIDGE iSerial 2 M6116018VE15 bNumConfigurations 1 Configuration Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 2 wTotalLength 32 bNumInterfaces 1 bConfigurationValue 1 iConfiguration 0 bmAttributes 0xc0 Self Powered MaxPower 2mA Interface Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 4 bInterfaceNumber 0 bAlternateSetting 0 bNumEndpoints 2 bInterfaceClass 8 Mass Storage bInterfaceSubClass 6 SCSI bInterfaceProtocol 80 Bulk-Only iInterface 0 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x81 EP 1 IN bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0200 1x 512 bytes bInterval 0 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x02 EP 2 OUT bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0200 1x 512 bytes bInterval 0 Device Qualifier (for other device speed): bLength 10 bDescriptorType 6 bcdUSB 2.00 bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level) bDeviceSubClass 0 bDeviceProtocol 0 bMaxPacketSize0 64 bNumConfigurations 1 Device Status: 0x0001 Self Powered -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
