Hi, I'm Thomas. I have a laptop with two USB 3 port. I have a curious stuff is happened, and I want to know if somebody knows was happened. The external SSD disk is plugging by convert cable. This cable is USB 2, and I plug to port USB 3.
Obviously the laptop doesn't see the sdd disk, but after a long time (about two hours) the disk is recognized and I can work fine with it.
The cable has two led the first one is red and the other one is blue. When I'm plugging the cable both led are on, and I can't access to SDD. After two hours the led blue is off, and I can access to the SDD.

I do nothing for this to happen.

I have 20.04.1 LTS (Focal Fossa)
 


USB 3 is 'supposed' to be backwards compatible with USB 2 devices.
Perhaps the USB port is not providing enough power? Some USB devices require two USB ports for sufficient power.
I don't know what the "convert cable" is but a faulty cable could cause issues.
 
I don't know if is not providing enough power, but this would always happen, or not? I attach a cable image.

Hi again.
I've been observing this issue and I want you to see dmesg output.
You see I boot the laptop about 11.35 the SSD was plugging to laptop at the same time and then system mount the SSD automatic at 13:07.
I really want to know what happens to solve this issue because I'd like to use this SSD for backup.

Kind Regards
