Turns out that my ExpressCard USB 3 adapter does not provide enough power to fuel the SSD on full write load. Attaching that extra cable that pulls juice from one of the regular USB ports made it work. So thanks for all that material, but this one was an oversight on my part. Thanks and sorry for the noise! Stephan PS: I faintly remember that I saw a "USB device is using too much power" warning on Windows. Is there a programmatic way to detect that and inform the user? Or is in this case the automatic switching off enough of a sign? (I am quite familiar with the clicking of spinning disks that do not get enough power, but these SSDs are surprisingly non-verbose in that regard :) -- 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
