It looks like there's a JMicron chip inside, but "smartctl -d usbjmicron" fails. Reading data from the drive and querying SMART with "smartctl -d sat" works without problem. Writing data and then querying SMART results in errors.
Small correction: Now "smartctl -d usbjmicron" is working as well as "smartctl -d sat". Looks like the usbjmicron protocol isn't very stable, too.
