[Bug 1082215] Re: (at least) USB id 14cd:6116 SATA Bridge M6116 chip causes HDD corruption
Also, we can only make polite requests to hardware manufacturers. The
real problem is that hardware manufacturers focus their testing on
Windows and sometimes Mac Os X, with little or no testing on Linux or
BSD.

Title:
(at least) USB id 14cd:6116 SATA Bridge M6116 chip causes HDD
corruption
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Description:
I bought an external USB enclosure for a SATA 2.5" hard drive. When using this USB drive with Microsoft Windows, it works perfectly - I have no problems reading and writing from/to the drive.
However when using this USB drive in Ubuntu (10.04 as well as 12.04) I can read the data on the drive without a problem, however after I wrote to the drive I started getting corruption errors.
To simplify the detection of the problem I used a new empty hard drive with this USB enclosure.
I wrote zeroes on about 1GB of the start of the drive (using a different USB to SATA interface).
When I read from the drive using the commands
dd if=/dev/sdb of=/tmp/xxx bs=1M count=100
hexdump -C xxx
The output of hexdump indicates that all that was read were zeroes:
00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................|
*
06400000
However, after I run the following command (writes to drive):
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=100
and then these commands:
dd if=/dev/sdb of=/tmp/xxx bs=1M count=100
hexdump -C xxx | less
I get the following output:

This indicates that although I tried to write zeroes to the drive,
what was actually written was mostly zeroes, but also these strange
blocks starting with "USBC". According to the dump these show up at
the beginning of every block (block size was 1M bytes) that the 'dd'
program wrote.
The output of lsusb on this system is:

The last entry being the USB to SATA controller that I think Ubuntu
has a problem with.
