SSD loading on USB 3.0 is very slow

Products Support Rock960
#1

Hi all.

I have checked 1 TB external SSD connected to ROCK 960.
Connecting with USB 3.0 is slow, but it connects with USB 2.0 sooner

I use ubuntu 18.04

uname -r
4.4.154-59-rockchip-g5e70f14

II did the following

[connect usb 3.0]

hdparm -tT /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
Timing chaced reads: 2 MB in 61.98 seconds = 33.04 kB/sec
Timing bufferd disk reads: 2 MB in 154.88 seconds = 13.22 kB/sec

[connect usb 2.0]

hdparm -tT /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
Timing chaced reads: 2384 MB in 2.0 seconds = 1192.13 kB/sec
Timing bufferd disk reads: 84 MB in 3.03 seconds = 27.74MB/sec

I am in trouble because I do not know the reason why USB 3.0 is slower than USB 2.0.
Do I need to install somewhere?

Hi, Hiro

Can you run sudo dmesg -c before plug in the SSD, then plug it on the usb3, and run sudo dmesg -c again. Paste the second output here.

Hi hipboi

I tried DMSG as you say

Could you try to disable the UAS and try?

add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

blacklist uas

Some usb device firmware is not fully compatible.

#5

Hi hipboi

I added blacklist.conf

blacklist uas

Do the same thing as before,
I run dmesg -c connect usb

usb 4-1: USB disconnect, device number3
usb 4-1: new SuperSpeed USB device number 4 using xhci-hcd
usb 4-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0411, idProduct=02c6

usb 4-1: SerialNumber: 0040488290204090

It was not error.but

sudo fdisk -l

I can’t found my ssd.
and I can’t connect by ssh.

I connect my ssd to USB2.0 port, and run command

sudo fdisk -l

I can found my ssd.
and I can connect by ssh.

It does not go well.
