Is it possible to force Windows 10 to run these enclosures in USB 3.0 BOT mode? It seems as though the problems lie somewhere within the combo of the enclosure chipset and Windows 10 trying to transfer in UASP mode.Ĭlick to expand. Has anyone else experienced an issue like this with a USB 3.0 enclosure and found a workaround that doesn't involve reverting to USB 2.0?

On the other hand, I have a Dell Latitude E7450 with USB 3.0 which can write just fine to the disk / enclosure over USB 3. Drivers and OS updates are all up to date. If I use a USB 2.0 cable instead, it works fine. This happens with a Surface Book and a Gigabyte Z170x-UD3 motherboard-based Thermaltake BlacX Duet 5G USB 3.0 HDD dockĪny time I try to write to a drive in one of these enclosures over USB 3.0, Explorer just sits there until a 0x80070079 Semaphore Timeout error pops up. I have tried a couple JMicron - based USB 3.0 disk enclosures: I have a variety of systems running Windows 10 v1511. Windows 10 and issues writing to Jmicron-based USB 3.0 (dual) HDD enclosures But that's just a temporary fix, and the problem inevitably hits again.ĭoes anyone know what could be causing this problem? Could it be a defect with the enclosure, a driver problem ,or something else? Has anyone else experienced a similar problem? Whenever the stalling problem hits, the only way to fix it is to switch off the enclosure and turn it back on. However, during a backup session, the stalling problem hit again, proving definitively that it is the enclosure, rather than the drive within it, that is causing the stalling problem. Thinking that the hard drive itself was the problem, I took it out of the enclosure and replaced it with a newer one. Later, during a restore session using a Macrium backup stored on the drive, the drive again stalled at a random time, which nearly resulted in disaster. During one backup session with Windows Backup and Restore, the drive stalled at a random moment, making the backup process fail (and my computer freeze up). I used it to put system image backups of my main C drive on (using Windows Backup and Restore, as well as Macrium Reflect). I bought an Inateck USB 3.0 hard drive enclosure to use with a SATA hard drive as a backup.
