Update:
I tried another USB cable on the usb type-a port (USB 3.2 Gen 1x1) and now I
see:
---
$ dmesg

So the device is connected in "high speed" usb 2.0 mode.
I assume this is because of the USB cable.
I don't have a USB 3.x cable with type-a connector at hand right now,
but I will try that in the coming days to hopefully get the "SuperSpeed".
Attaching the device via usb-c does not work all.
I tried different scenarios (with a usb-c cable that came with delock
enclosure):
- attached at boot vs hotpluged
- with and without Thunderbolt activated in BIOS
Going forward I wonder how I should manage my usb devices.
As my setup is mostly a stationary laptop and usb ports are limited,
I'm considering using a USB hub.
Here again I'm challenged with the question which model I should get that works
well.
I assume if the hub is connected via USB type-c it would have the same problems?
Some requirements for the hub:
- should support both usb-a and usb-c type devices
- should at least support "SuperSpeed" (USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 5Gbps)
- probably: attaches via usb type-a port
And on another note.
The different port types, standards, cables can cause quite some confusion.
How do you deal with this?
