Model name endian incorrect for Hitachi, Seagate, Toshiba drives when connected to certain USB controllers using legacy 44 pin PATA #624

Open PartialVolume opened 2 weeks ago

PartialVolume commented 2 weeks ago

The model name's endian is incorrect for Hitachi, Seagate, Toshiba drives when connected to certain USB controllers (Unitek Y3324A) (ID 1f75:0611 Innostor Technology Corporation IS611 SATA/PATA Bridge Controller) using the legacy 44 pin PATA connector typically used by 2.5" drives on legacy laptops.

So for instance Toshiba will appear as "oThsbi a ......".

New code has been written which will pattern match against the incorrect endian for these drives and then switches the model name endian so the model name is correct.

The code will be merged in the next couple of days.
