How do I tell? The "disk" is not a dedicated external disk any more as
these were getting too expensive. Rather, it is a Thermaltake BlacXDuet
5G Dual HDD docking station that accepts two SATA drives, 2.5 in and 3.5
in in all capacities. URL:

I append the output from lshw with what I believe to be irrelevant
sections removed.
As to the kernel, uname -a reports: 2.6.32-131.2.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP
Note that this motherboard has a number of USB ports, only one of which
is USB 3 . When I plugged-in the USB 3 cable from the dock, the dock
recognized USB 3 (there is a blue SUPERSPEED text that illuminates), but
the drive did not appear as /dev/sde . However, this did automatically
happen for a USB 2 port (please see the lshw report below). As the bulk
drive had only the drive low-level format, but no partitions or file
systems per so, I am using dd to copy what I need .
Thanks,

BTW: if this thread is "hijacked", my apologies. Evidently Thunderbird
does not allow one to use a simple copy mechanism and subsequent
clean-up without extensions of which I am unaware, unlike much older
straight text (curses) based applications such as elm or mutt. At my
university, the primary internal email services are not generally used
for threaded use and thus the matter was never brought to my attention.

It was clear, but if nobody has any USB3 motherboards and UBS3
What USB 3 chipset are you using and what usb 3 chipset does the "disk"
have?

equipment, it's really hard to tell you.
