Sabrent 2.5 hd to usb 3.00 - not detected now, working before - kde

English Hardware
1

On my desktop, I replaced a magnetic drive with SSD. The MD drive was having problems, not sure if it was failing. I bought the above installed the MD (1tb) drive inside the device. I plugged in the usb, noting the blue light was on Then, I did a low level format with error checking on the command line, ntfs. After, It was working fine, writes and reads. I stored it for use later. Now, it’s about 1 year+ later. It’s not showing up on the usb list in the window. So, I did some research and found this page and other websites.

Also, I have an extra 512gb internal drive, but I need an external to transport around and for backup.

Hmm, HD not working or sabrent converter not working?

Yawn, tomorrow (my timezone) I will return.

5

I’ll just comment on my experience.

I have a similar SABRENT box, except it is for 3.5 inch drives. It is working well.

On my previous desktop, it was unreliable. After booting, it worked, but if the computer had been up for a while, it stopped working. The basic problem was the previous desktop would often see a USB3 port as just a USB2 port. I guess I bought that computer in the early days of USB3, and something in the hardware or BIOS didn’t fully support it.

6

I have a quite old Sabrent made for 3.5" using both USB and eSATA. With SATA it is reliable only with SATA. With USB, both PATA and SATA work as expected.

7

On mswin10, file transfers are 100-120 m/s. On every version past and present of opensuse on my laptop and desktop, it happens at about 5-25 m/s.

So, maybe the kernel has a bug with transfers. On the sabrent, the USB 3.00 is being seen as USB 2.00 and the sabrent won’t work.

This was working on a past version of opensuse. What do you think?

This Sabrent uses a sata connection.

8

How long is the cable? Is it v3 rated? Is the port v3 rated?

9

It has blue part on the interior. So, it’s USB v3.00 cable. I think it’s the one that came with it.

It’s possible the cable is bad. My audio cables went bad one day and I got a replacement, they then worked.

3’ cable. (foot)

10

When you wrote:

I took it to mean the connection to the PC, not to its storage disk. Thus I was referring to SATA v3 and eSATA cable. eSATA has a much shorter cable length limitation than does USB3, and higher cable quality requirement. I have yet to find a 3’ eSATA cable I could make work.

When I compared the two hard drives shown in my question, I recognized that they are using different jumper configurations. Thus, I did some research on this and found the documentation about the jumper settings. I realized that the working hard drive was configured like in setting 3 for Reduced Power Spinup (RPS) enabled. I thought this might be interesting for me despite the fact that the spinup of my drive seemed to work correctly. I also found a datasheet about the RPS itself which is available here.

After changing the jumper settings for my not working disk to the one of my working disk I tried the 3 different enclosures again but could not get any working configuration. However, I hope that it at least helps some of you out there!

WIn10 drive needs to be formatted.

It’s tough problem to solve… enough said. :wink:

16

Try and attach the drive to the motherboard.

17

I believe I have sata cables and room for another power connection. I’ve read that the unit may have stopped working.

Also, I’m going to be late responding, long work days.

I’ll try connecting on w10, ‘drive needs to be formatted’. I’ll try formatting it.

Also, It said the drive is write protected. So, I tested for read only. I got in a bad sector test (can’t recall the command). It reported a mismatch in free sectors and free sectors counted by it.

There are two drivers - usb-storage and uas. You may test the other one, if it behaves better. Try booting with kernel parameter:

usb-storage.quirks=152d:1561:u

which should prevent using uas driver for this device.

20

Notes, I booted to windows10. Tried installing the sabrent firmware update. It worked two times in a row. That means the cable and the firmware/hardware works.

Two possible problems, the connection between the sata and HD is not working. The MD has failed.

I don’t hear the drive spinning up. It’s was at a low level, but I could hear it last time.

Drive will not format, “hardware error”.

How do i change the kernel parm?
