# Logic dictates that you try with GENERIC, see if that works any better ;)

I tried with a GENERIC from -CURRENT, the detection message is somewhat different:

ugen4.2: <vendor 0x152d> at usbus4
umass0:   SCSI over Bulk-Only; quirks = 0x0100
umass0:10:0:-1: Attached to scbus10

However still no device nodes, AFAICT. Using "camcontrol rescan all"
followed by "camcontrol devlist" does not show the drive.

Any chance I can get this drive going on USB 3? Could the
problem be the quirk = 0x0100?

Regards,
