• DS-4SSD - new version?

  @Sabrent Oh, there is a new model! Cool! 😄 I was definitely not expecting it being so simple! It's almost twice as expensive, but it has 5 slots, and it's 10Gbps USB 3.2. And I assume it supports...

• DS-4SSD - new version?

  Hi! A year ago, together we've discovered that the DS-4SSD has an old chip flashed with a broken firmware (JMS567 flashed to pretend to be JMS561U), and you've mentioned that you'll request them t...

• EC-UASP - more information

  @Sabrent There seems to be some miscommunication here... > I have no updated information on the EC-UASP at this time. The original one we have here to test works fine with TRIM, so again this i...

  @Sabrent I forgot to mention you again - sorry, I can't get used to this workflow. :)

  Then I have to choose something else instead of this one. The "fixed" revision of this model is not going to happen any time soon, most likely not this year, correct? A possible solution is a HB-...

  @Sabrent The Linux kernel team has confirmed that there's nothing that can be done to make this device work properly. Can I return this device based on this situation? (Also, can I subscribe to ...

  BTW you can try the ARM flasher on amd64 using qemu-system-arm and qemu-user . It allows running foreign architecture code without even a virtual machine. But for me, it did not work for some reaso...

  https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Solid_state_drive#External_SSD_with_TRIM_support I'm reading this one more time more carefully. So, first they check sg_readcap to get the LBPME bit, which is 0. N...

  I was misunderstanding what BOT means; I thought it meant UASP, but it actually means "NOT UASP". You said that "users have forced this on Linux to work correctly", but according to what I see, th...

  I've investigated this more thoroughly. Indeed, there are people with JMS567/JMS578 who see TRIM not being enabled by default. They have listed the instructions to manually enable TRIM, after whic...

  @Sabrent I can use Windows to upgrade it if necessary. If that can be fixed to work. I don't completely understand what is LBPME bit - is it necessary for flashing or working? I assume it's for wo...

  I've managed to get another system, also with certain (and possibly better) working USB3. But the symptoms are the same - "Write Data SCSI16 To HDD FAIL!!". Are you actually able to reflash your u...

  @Sabrent I've found firmwares that should work, and I'll figure out the Linux part later. The problem is, none of the updater programs work for me for some reason. Which program do you use? What co...

• EC-UASP - more information

  I've found only one firmware that did not say "Wrong chip". But it did say "Unable to send SCSI16". So... I guess being a different chip is not a problem, but my USB might be?.. No way, I've got a ...

• EC-UASP - more information

  I've tried to do this, but it did not work. The firmware updater has correctly identified my device as "JMS568/567/566" (but not 578!). After I select the firmware file, it shows a warning - "The ...

  So it's almost definitely JMS567 - also this seems a lot like my situation (same weird identification string), so EC-UASP 's on JMS567 might be affected by the same problem (at least a few years ba...

• EC-DFLT power plug / supply needed

  This is actually a good question, because I foresee a possible situation when mine leaves the building too - possibly because of capacitor wear due to being plugged in all the time. Is there a way ...

  It may in reality be a different chip, but it does report no TRIM support - so even if it actually could support it, those commands won't (can't) be issued by the operating system. So it doesn't ma...

• EC-UASP - more information

  Then it seems like it is likely not JMS561U, despite identifying as 152d:1561 . And there is no firmware update. But is it possible to fix?.. Could you share what chipsets did you see in the ones ...
