Hello,
I have a Uspeed Superspeed USB 3.0 PCI-E Card with 4 USB 3.0 Ports (with 4-pin Power Connector).
My drive is: Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk PN:9ZQ2P6-500 3TB
I am trying to get these two to work together under Fedora 17. The current kernel is:
Linux deathstar 3.5.0-2.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jul 30 14:48:59 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
This is my only USB3 card and I only have one USB 3 drive.
Below are the results of trying to us this card and my drive together:
[423535.945641] usb 1-2: USB disconnect, device number 2
[423549.388014] xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: Timeout while waiting for address device command

[423555.141573] hub 10-0:1.0: couldn't allocate port 1 usb_device
At this point, the light on the drive turns off and it isn't recognized by the system.
If I plug the drive into a USB2 port onboard, I get:

And the drive works fine, but at USB2 speeds.
Plugging in a USB2 thumbdrive into the USB3 card seems to work:

The output of lspci for this card is:

If I take this drive to a friends house who has USB 3 on Windows, the drive works fine and has USB3 level throughput.
Any suggestions on why this doesn't work on the USB 3 ports?
