Again, this is NOT a LINUX problem. This is a manufacturer of your USB 3.0 device problem. They (the manufacturer) is NOT following the xHCI USB 3.0 specs and therefore the device does not work properly. In other words, it's likely the external HDD, not the machine, nor the O/S (Ubuntu).
The reason your USB 3.0 device works in Windows, is that (a) either Microsoft wrote some hacky drivers for the bad device, or (b) the manufacturer of the device submitted a "driver" to Microsoft so that it's sub-standard firmware/hardware would work on Windows. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1242321 Title: USB 3.0 Harddrive not recognised To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1242321/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
