3 years ago @P33M I've tried to connect the enclosure after the RPI4 boot, the behavior is absolutely the same, I've tried other cables and even different power adapters.
I still confused and can't get why it's a USB2 device, but the main point - why I cannot interact with the disk... is that a wrong controller detection or RPI <-> Controller <-> NVMe

P33M
commented
3 years ago From what I see, there are at least two things going wrong when plugging into the Pi. The first is that USB3.0 negotiation fails and the device falls back to USB2.0. The second is that the disk isn't reporting back any capacity figures - the command is failing. The fact that switching to USB mass storage rather than UAS has the same result points to a basic initialisation-style problem rather than UAS protocol breakage.
Does the adapter work at all if you plug it into one of the physical USB2.0 ports (or use a USB2.0 cable)?

3 years ago Please could you also post links to the enclosure and NVMe device. I'm using a Realtek NVMe adapter with what appears to be the same chipset on a Pi4. Actually, mine is the "Realtek RTL9210B-CG" chipset https://www.amazon.com/ELUTENG-Enclosure-Protocol-Adapter-External/dp/B08H22BV1N

3 years ago USB3 Gen1 hub with complementary power delivery arrived. So, I can fully confirm that the root cause of the problem is a lack of pi's power that leads to incorrect enclose detection and a problem with NVMe drive recognition.
My new setup with external power via USB3 Gen 1 hub works as expected:

2 years ago @mmokrejs maybe I'm wrong but the controller (Realtek) has a setting something like idle-timeout and if no IO activity for a while it switches off the power and it looks like a USB disconnect, I believe that this device was designed to work as a USB storage stick rather them permanent drive. Probably you can disable idle timeout but make sure that the chip (both memory and the controller) is cold enough.

LABEL = "My USB"@partment Thank you for your help. Finally I got to try the new firmware. The 1.27.xx series update went to 100% and I used the _0.cfg file to get rid of the sleeping issue. Unplugged, reconnected, was recognized again. I did not check the NVMe data contents ... yet.
Sadly I then decided that while at it I shall try the 1.29.xx series image using the same 64bit EXE distributed with the 1.27.xx firmware and the same _0.cfg. But, something went wrong, the update process stoped at 97%. The device is dead, does nothing after plugging in. USB does ot report a new device (Linux kernel too, not only Win10).
I did check before that the 1.29.xx image is selected and the other part was in some subdirectory. So either using he older EXE was the culprit, or the old config was not compatible with the newer firmware files ...

Sorry to hear that.
I'm using UTNVME_B_v1.29.12.011122.bin as firmware BIN and UTGDFW_B_v4.22.27.081220.bin as firmware GD.
These two are paired with each other, maybe you flushed wrong firmware GD?

commented
2 years ago @mmokrejs Here is the method to reflush your firmware.
There should be a chip called P25Q40SH or FM25Q04A or PUYA P25D40H.
Mine is P25Q40SH so I will take it for example.
Looks for P25Q40SH's datasheet and find pin layout for CS# and Vcc.
CS# and Vcc is pin 1 and 8. There is a circle on the chip for you to determine the direction.
Then, you need to short these two pins for about 5~10 second when you connect USB.
Once your firmware updater looks like this, you can flush firmware again and again until you success.

2 years ago Right, that saved me. Short-circuiting the ping before USB power is attached was ineed the way to reset it. I had to flash and reset several times, I used several USB cables but mostly the flashing process interrupted. I am just guessing but maybe limiting the USB to USB2-speeds would eliminate the issue with cable or I/O error handling, whatever. I had 2 successfull attempt out of say 20! The flashing stopped anywhere between 35% to 98%, it felt like a random occassion than a rule. Yeah, I also enabled the serial programing option in a few atempts but with not difference.

For me, it does not work with the latest kernel. After downgrading to 20220830 it started using UAS driver again.
That probably has to do with the device+firmware being reported in the past not behaving properly under UAS driver. Look for these in dmesg:

1 year ago 3 days ago bought Orico MM2C3-G2-GY 10Gbps Space Gray version (despite that their site says Dark Green is the 10Gbps) It has RTL9210 chip, cable is capable of 10Gbps Enclosure works stable on USB 3.1 5Gbps ports, on USB 3.1 Gen 2 10Gbps it's not detected correctly under Win 8.1/10 Updated the firmware to realtek_rtl9210_1.29.12.011122 version (found it on station-drivers.com) Now it is found on 10Gbps Type A ports but not stable, this chip model is so bad that even crashed the Gen2 motherboard controller (ASMedia, reviews say it's the best for the bucks used in most of the Asus or other brands models) so it went in BSOD state very fast, during the crash flight it managed to disconnect and WD_Black 4TB CMR external 2.5" HDD :D
I waited 4-5 years so they can bring a stable NVMe 10Gbps enclosures to the market, most of (if not all) JMS583/RTL9210 based are pure shit, ASM2362 based are probably the most stable. But pinch that with a salt and use the regular USB3 5Gbps ports (btw USB3 is the worst protocol for ports in modern era, max 900mA is a joke, and it's age of 15 YEARS with problems is hilarious). If you have the opportunity just put a PCIe USB extender on your PC to at least offer more Amps for the USB devices

I have good experience with this enclosure https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002776016696.html works fine for me with 10Gbps with good usb-c to usb-c cable (I use this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003984553956.html), I don't have device with usb 3.1 gen 2 type A socket so cannot try original cable with 10Gbps speed.

Thanks for warning. I have actually ordered one more (ordered Mar 12, 2023 received Mar 31, 2023) and still got the RTL9210B one same as before. So either I was lucky and the seller sends random ones or seller started to do it later - which is more probable because I vaguely remember the listing name and/or listing details contained text "RTL9210B" and now it is gone.

I'm facing the issue of a degraded experience with a RTL9210b (Ugreen NVME enclosure) whereby my Raspberry Pi 4B handles the drive OK but lsusb -t lists the drive as 480M (i.e. USB 2.0), instead of 5000M (i.e. USB 3.0). Therefore I get dreadful wr speeds.
edit: switching to a brand new USB A -> USB C cable fixed my issue
