[SOLVED] How to check UASP support?

Hi,

Is there a way to check that the controler supports UASP?
I am about to buy an external hard drive with UASP enabled.
Many thanks

this is my lsusb -v :

is it enough if I see UAS in lsmod ? or does that only means it is load on my kernel but not 100% confirmation it would work?

I think the best way is to check the spec of your motherboard...

Re: [SOLVED] How to check UASP support?

thanks
the problem is that it is a very specific hardware (fanless pc) so not easy to find the specs..

Re: [SOLVED] How to check UASP support?

Product: Plugable USB3-SATA-UASP1 Lay Flat Docking Station
Chip: Asmedia ASM1153

In Windows, ensure that the drive in device manager says "SCSI Device" instead of "USB Device". In Linux, look for Driver=uas instead of Driver=usb-storage. Alas my 32GB Sandisk Extreme does not support uas.

...
00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation C226 Series Chipset Family Server Advanced SKU LPC Controller (rev 04)
...

These are the platforms I've tested so far.

Linux enables uas on: Intel 8 Series USB 3, Intel 7 Series USB 3, Intel 7 Series USB 2, NEC/Rensas uPD720200 USB 3, NEC/Rensas uPD720201 USB 3, Intel i965 USB 2, Expresscard 54 NEC/Rensas uPD720202
Linux avoids uas on: Asmedia ASM1042
  uas-detect.h UAS requires streams, disabled on the ASM1042. http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg116147.html

Windows enables uas on: Intel 6 series USB 2, NEC/Rensas uPD720200 USB 3, NEC/Rensas uPD720201 USB 3
Windows avoids uas on: Asmedia ASM1042

Windows and Linux enable UAS on any USB controller that isn't blacklisted. The Asmedia ASM1042 was the only chip for which Windows 7 support could be found and is now blacklisted by all OS due to chip bugs so Windows 7 does not support UASP.

To get UASP you need 3 components.
OS Support: Windows 8, Windows 10, Linux
USB controller support: Any USB 2 or 3+ interface that doesn't have UASP blacklisted.
UASP ready peripherals: UASP standards solidified near the end of USB 3.0 development so most USB 3.0 storage products are not UASP compatible. Some buggy chips were produced so some products claiming UASP support have been blacklisted. Hopefully most USB 3.1 products will include UASP support.

Re: [SOLVED] How to check UASP support?

thanks severach

It is like we have the same controler? (we have the same ID : 1d6b:0003) and your enabled UAS device is connected to Port 5 under BUS 04 (your USB3.0 controler)

/:  Bus 04.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/6p, 5000M
    |__ Port 5: Dev 3, If 0, Class=Mass Storage, Driver=uas, 5000M

Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

Is is too bad I have a Sandisk as well but I think UAS is not activaded on this one :

Bus 002 Device 013: ID 0781:5588 SanDisk Corp. 

so I guess if my USB device I will purchas has UASP then I don't think I would have any issue, what do you think?
many thanks for your help

If it support UASP it will have Interface Descriptor with "bInterfaceProtocol 98" (in addition to one with "bInterfaceProtocol 80 Bulk-Only"). This is my UASP SATA adapter (http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-SATA-Dri … B00HJZJI84):

By the way I wonder how many thumb drives / portable HDDs on the market support UASP anyway. Mostly it's those SATA adapter that supports it.

P.S. I wonder if the vendorID/productID of the root hub really means anything.

Re: [SOLVED] How to check UASP support?

thanks tom!

so no way to know if my controller would support it on his side? (I know for the one I am going to buy that it supports so no probleme on this side : http://www.raidon.com.tw/RAIDON2013/RAI … 0-b3.html)
My issue is more on my controler side (ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub) where I have no cloue if it would support it..

Re: [SOLVED] How to check UASP support?

From what I've read, it depends on whether the motherboard's vendor implement it, instead of depending on the model of the PCH chip or so. But there doesn't seem to be much source about it so I am not sure if it's true.

My point is, does it matter much anyway? I mean, are you struggling on whether to buy a cheaper model of the device which does not support UASP? If not then, there isn't much to worry, coz UASP devices works on host controller that does not support UASP.

Re: [SOLVED] How to check UASP support?

The Linux root hub is a generic device. My Asus P8Z77-V LK board has two of them.

# lsusb
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
# lspci
00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 (rev 04)
00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI Host Controller (rev 04)
07:00.0 USB controller: ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1042 SuperSpeed USB Host Controller

The Intel controller supports UASP. The Asmedia does not.

It's mostly nothing that supports UASP, but of all the nothing, it's the USB SATA controllers that we have the most support for. There are some Sandisk Extreme CZ80 that have it and the new USB pocket SSD are also supposed to.

Re: [SOLVED] How to check UASP support?

Only A PORTION (if any) of SanDisk CZ80 supports it...I've got two, one 32GB, and one 16GB which was bought later. Neither of them supports UASP. Not mention that SanDisk never marketed it as "UASP flash drive" anyway.

Do you have concrete docs which shows that these are universally true?

Re: [SOLVED] How to check UASP support?

Hi,

Just to give you some news as I have received my unit and good news it is working through UAS smile

lsusb -v -d 152d:9561
      bInterfaceProtocol     80 Bulk-Only
      bInterfaceProtocol     98 

lsusb -t
 Bus 02.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/4p, 5000M
    |__ Port 1: Dev 5, If 0, Class=Mass Storage, Driver=uas, 5000M

many thanks again for your help!
fyi, bandwitdh is very high but I am still not sure where the bottleneck is! I have been able to reach around 3Gbit/s on one disk (RAID1) and 3.3Gbit/s on two disks (RAID 0)
