Re: USB3 high-speed write test failure with WDC MyBook 3TB drive

Interesting update.

WD claims that, based on the serial number of the
MyBook here, the USB3/SATA bridge is not a JMicron
device.

I'm still convinced the failure is a crash or hang
at the remote side of the USB3 link.  Possibly the
SATA controller on the WD drive is losing its
marbles due to some behavior unique to certain
USB3 bridges.  All demonstrated failure scenarios
include WD drives of varying models including an
old 150GB Raptor.

Suggested as much to WD and asked them to identify
the controller chip.  Not in the mood to crack the
case and void the warranty on the unit here.

Another possibility is a bug in an embedded 8051
SDK common to different bridge controllers.
Noticed that a great deal of open-source 8051 code
is available and this improves the odds of a bug
common to multiple devices.
