But earlier you wrote: I have a Seagate External HDD PN: 9sean2-500 that works fine on USB2.0 ports (and older kernels) however when connected to usb3.0 port on newer kernels, the drive fails any write access. So this wasn't a real test, was it? You would have expected the drive to work okay even without the patch. Can you do the same test on a USB-3 port? > [ 1343.719969] usb 2-1.3: New USB device found, idVendor=0bc2, idProduct=3332 > [ 1343.719973] usb 2-1.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, > SerialNumber=3 > [ 1343.719976] usb 2-1.3: Product: External > [ 1343.719978] usb 2-1.3: Manufacturer: Seagate > [ 1343.719981] usb 2-1.3: SerialNumber: 2GHP5NM9 > [ 1343.810149] usb-storage 2-1.3:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected > [ 1343.810580] usb-storage 2-1.3:1.0: Quirks match for vid 0bc2 pid 3332: 200 > [ 1343.810606] scsi host6: usb-storage 2-1.3:1.0 > [ 1343.810722] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage > [ 1343.828047] usbcore: registered new interface driver uas > [ 1344.812932] scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access Seagate External > SG12 PQ: 0 ANSI: 4 > [ 1344.813636] sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 > [ 1344.814123] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] 3907029164 512-byte logical blocks: > (2.00 TB/1.82 TiB) > [ 1344.814127] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming Write Enabled > [ 1344.814130] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through > [ 1344.878679] sdb: sdb1 > [ 1344.880193] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI disk > [ 1345.069152] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] tag#0 FAILED Result: > hostbyte=DID_ERROR driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE > [ 1345.069159] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] tag#0 Sense Key : Hardware Error > [current] [descriptor] > [ 1345.069162] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] tag#0 Add.

Other people have complained about them in the past. Would you mind testing a patch that should eliminate them?
