Hi there,
Thank you for your response. As requested I tested the newest mainline
kernel 4.19-rc3. Unfortunately the issue persists.
Something of note that I just discovered: A live session of 18.04 does
NOT have this issue. The kernel version reported there is 4.15.0-29 (I
think. Whatever ships on the amd64 ISO image). So I booted 18.04 to that
kernel version during startup... and the issue is still there with that
one external drive only. Another USB 3 thumb drive still writes at full
performance (30 MB/s).
This makes me think it isn't a kernel issue but rather some other
package that got updated.
** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
** Description changed:
- From both a live and an installed 18.04 environment, I cannot get my
- external 8TB sata hard drive (attached via USB 3) to write faster than
- about 10 megabytes per second under Ubuntu 18.04. I have another that
- writes at the expected full speed or close enough (100+ MBps).

I have tried:
* Changing the enclosure from the stock to a new one
* Using usb-storage "quirks" options in modprobe conf files to work around
any UAS incompatibilities with the bridge (many reports of the drive working at
full performance when disabling UAS, no such luck for me)
* Checking the disk for errors
* Updating the kernel to the most recent mainline (4.18.6 at the time)
* Checking UEFI settings (I'm already on the most recent revision of the
firmware)
* Applying all available updates
* Changing USB ports
* Checking dmesg for any obvious errors (dead end, I googled everything)
Again, a different external 3TB USB 3 drive does not have any write
speed issues at all, so it's not the computer (Intel NUC7PJYH).
However, the very same drive in both of the enclosures I have used works
*perfectly* in Ubuntu 16.04 on kernel 4.15.0-34 in both a live session
and installed. I am not sure what the difference is between the two LTS
versions that is causing this, but unfortunately I think I've reached
the end of my know-how on this.
Thank you for your time, and please let me know what other information I
can provide.
