I just got one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208913 It seems to work fine except I get the following after ejecting it in Thunar: sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Synchronizing SCSI cache sd 8:0:0:0: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery The only way I've found to get the /dev/sdb device file back right away is to 'modprobe -r xhci_hcd && modprobe xhci_hcd'. It comes back on its own after about 30 minutes (rough estimate) or so. I've tried two different USB3 cables. I have a 1TB USB3 HD that also requires modprobe after ejecting but it doesn't print anything interesting to dmesg.
