Orico 3588US3 disconnects frequently

[jackblk]

Orico 3588US3 uses ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1051E SATA 6Gb/s bridge, ASM1053E SATA 6Gb/s bridge, ASM1153 SATA 3Gb/s bridge (174c:55aa), which is not compatible with UAS (USB Attached SCSI). So after a while, it will disconnect and you will have to remount it.

To solve this: blacklist it from using UAS.

echo options usb-storage quirks=174c:55aa:u | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist_uas.conf
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo reboot

Notes

• Somehow, it still disconnects for me, but after I setup a random shared folder on samba, the issue is gone??? (refer "Not used" part)
• If you have other devices, check for the id with lsusb
• Seems like ASM family has the same issues: ASM1053, ASM1051, ...

At least Orico 3588US3-V1 has one ugly bug in the firmware: The auto-shutdown feature ignores running reads. To prevent auto-shutdown while reading, you have to regularly write. I am using following work around: Code: Select all

while touch /run/media/sbrabec/Orico/temp_stamp ; do rm /run/media/sbrabec/Orico/temp_stamp ; sleep 20 ; done

Maybe it is possible to write a kernel quirk for that (without actually writing any data to the disk), but I am satisfied with this solution. When this script is running, Orico 3588US3-V1 works 100% reliably.

Well it still sometimes disconnect. Just return it.
