Hmm, spoke too soon. USB3 enclosures are $30-40 from NewEgg. Have a couple of bare drives lying around. I'm buying their best-rated one to test out. Got an intuition the glitch is in the USB3-to-SATA2 module. Annoyingly it's impossible to find out who made the guts in advance, but with luck it will be a different OEM module. -- 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
