Bug#686464: USB3 HDD spontaneously disconnects sporadically



Hi Jonathan,

I don't have another USB3 cable, but this one looks okay, and it is brand new - it was included with the USB enclosure. I have been using the disk internally since my report, and I have not found the time to remove it from the server to test a another kernel.
As I wrote, this had happened on two entirely different PCs.

Regards,
Sladjan

Now I'm in suspense.  Do you still have access to this machine?  Any
new clues since the initial report?

Curious,
Jonathan
