The proposed patch adds compatibility quirks. Because the drive requires two quirks (one to work with UAS, and another to work with usb-storage), adding this under unusual_devs.h and not just unusual_uas.h so kernels compiled without UAS receive the quirk. With the patch, the drive works reliably on UAS and usb- storage. (tested on NEC Corporation uPD720200 USB 3.0 host controller).
