Just wondering if there are any known issues with USB 3.0 storage devices in Centos 6.5??
I just got one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817332028
it does either esata or USB 3.0. My new motherboard (ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0) supports both, so I've tried both (of course, can't have a feature without at least giving it a whirl! :)). esata seems to work fine, I can copy gigs 'n gigs of data to it using the esata connection.
however, with USB3 it works for a bit then something goes wonky... After copying some hundreds of megabytes (and I don't know if it is a consistent number or not) suddenly my C6 box starts reporting write errors.
some investigation shows that /dev/sdc (and /dev/sdc1) no longer exist on the system. it takes a reboot to get it back. After which it'll work for a while then the same thing all over again. I've tried a different USB 3.0 cable but it makes no difference.
Anyone got ideas on this?
I have that motherboard, but I have not used USB3 on it. I have used USB3 via this card:

and this one:

On two separate laptops ... with no problems with either.
I would recommend that you have the latest firmware for the motherboard:
The last 2 BIOS updates are for USB ... the most recent one less than 2 weeks ago (Version 2501, 2014.05.14)
Just installed the 2501 BIOS (it had 2201) and the problem still occurs. sigh :( :(
but at least it's not a show-stopper, the device appears to work fine using esata.
