ADATA usb 3 drive won't power up at boot

I am trying to use a new usb 3.0 external HDD with an old Dell dimension 3000 using latest arch x86. At boot if the drive is connected it seems to stay unpowered (no leds etc etc). In the journal I see this

when I unplug and replug its usb cable I see this in the journal

is there a way to get it recognized at boot without the manual intervention?
