USB3 Drive Base Disconnecting During Write Cycle

It's been a little over a week since my last post.  Has anyone tried this again lately?

I decided to try this again but with a Sabrent SATA to USB 3.0 hard drive enclosure (EC-UASP). I have 4 of these and two of them were going bad on the enclosure's controller and I was in the process debugging this so that I can submit an RMA to Sabrent.  With the two remaining working ones, I decided to just give this a try again and I was able to transfer 100GB from one enclosure to the other and it did not hiccup at all.  Which was a surprise to me.

Here's what I tried:

• One HDD was a 320GB Samsung spindle, the other was a 320GB Seagate spindle. Seagate to Samsung 100GB Transfer.
• One Intel 240GB SSD, the other was the 320 Seagate. Seagate to Intel SSD 100GB Transfer.
• One Intel 240GB SSD, the other also an Intel 250GB SSD.  Intel -> 100GB Transfer.

None of these were failing so I went back to my original setup that was failing, which was the two 2TB Western Digital Passport.  I didn't transfer 100GB of data but it was 47GB of data and it transferred successfully.

There were some updates from when I posted until now but I haven't been paying attention so I didn't catch what was updated. Have you guys recently and still running into issues?  I think mine may have been fixed? 

On a side note... SSD external to SSD external transfer was flipping fast...holy ****.

Same here. I purchased a SurfaceBook, dock and that exact SSD based off that presentation. Now, a couple of thousand dollars later, I've got a laptop that corrupts data on my expensive SSD. I'd at least like some acknowledgement of the issue so I know if it will be fixed, otherwise I need to hold off selling my old MacBook

This is so frustrating!  If I could, I would have returned my Surface Book.  The USB is basic, nothing new, it is not unreasonable to assume that is should work perfectly!  Like you, I have the Samsung T1 that is worthless with the Surface Book.  It works flawlessly on my Lenovo and my HP.  Do you hear that MS - HP and Lenovo?

Now during the Microsoft event he shows off copying 3 GB from his USB SSD, which looks like the T1, and no issues.  Is it working for him or did he just get lucky.  I purchased my Surface Book from this presentation.  Call me the fool?

I have had the same issues.  I went through two Samsung T1 SSD's under heavy write I get the same errors in event viewer finally the entire USB bus will crash and the drives will disconnect.  As well as the Surface Dock which is just a USB 3.0 dock with Microsoft's specific connector.  It has to be either a firmware or software updated need.  It seems the be across the board.

Looks like a mod mover my original question into that thread.  My issue might be related to this one here but I'm not 100% sure of it.

Mine does not happen on heavy writes... it just happens all the time.  It seems to be related to UASP.

Hi,

Looks like my Surface Book is having issues with writing to my UASP(USB Attached SCSI) External disk enclosure.  I run a ICYRaid MB662U3-2S R1 enclosure with 2 disks in Raid 1.   When I try to write on the disk, it will sort of start but then will hang forever.

The Task manager show the drive has having 100% wait time

In the event log, I get the following :

Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort4, was issued.

The IO operation at logical block address 0x5a9448 for Disk 1 (PDO name: \Device\0000011f) was retried.

The external drive enclosure works A1 on my other laptop, running in UASP mode under Windows 8.1.  Also works A1 on my Desktop, also running Windows 8.1.  I'm now upgrading my desktop to Windows 10 to see if I could replicate the issue.

I'm pretty sure UASP is the cause because it will hang on all the ports (including those on the dock) but adding a USB 2 hub to my surface and connecting the drive though it (disabling UASP) fixes the problem (but I get terrible performance)
