ORICO 2588US3 Portable USB 2.5 3.0 SATA external HDD enclosure

Probably does not support UASP. Found no mention of that on the product description. The system reports it as:

idVendor 0x357d Sharkoon idProduct 0x7788 QuickPort XT

Linux starts using the uas driver, but the drive goes offline after a short period of idle without informing the system. Not sure whether this is a linux driver issue or about the device supporting UASP. Very annoying.

A way forward is to register a quirk with Linux to tell it to use the usb-storage driver instead.

/etc/modprobe.d/uas.conf

options usb-storage quirks=357d:7788:u

followed by rebuilding the initramfs

sudo dracut -f

rebooted and plugged in the USB3 drive. So far it's working fine.
