Only the vendor can tell you. Heureka! Before buying a new case with a UAS capable bridge I tried flashing some unknown firmware. I searched for "ASM1153 firmware" and found http://www.station-drivers.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=353&func=fileinfo&id=2842&lang=en I fired up some VirtualBox with extensions to be able to flash that USB3 device. Flashing worked, however ReLink failed. Now plugging to Linux I finally see holy land: [kernel] scsi host9: uas [kernel] usb 4-1: Product: USB3-SATA-UASP1 Opening with cryptsetup showed [kernel] device-mapper: table: 254:4: adding target device sdf caused an alignment inconsistency: physical_block_size=4096, logical_block_size=512, alignment_offset=0, start=2097152 But reading works fine. However the new descriptor of my device now looks like: Bus 004 Device 007: ID 174c:55aa ASMedia Technology Inc.

I wondered the InterfaceClass is still "Mass Storage" but now the uas module has taken over. Best regards, Massimo
