troubles with attach too big HDD through USB

[Andrew Wingorodov]

my sata -> usb ext. box (vipower VPA) can't attach a new big 500gb wdc.
he writes:

kernel: da0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present
kernel: (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): READ CAPACITY. CDB: 25 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
kernel: (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): CAM Status: SCSI Status Error
kernel: (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): SCSI Status: Check Condition

kernel: (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Medium not present
kernel: (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Unretryable error

through SATA hdd works well

is this problem about box, os or hdd?
did anyone see this?
