Accessing external HardDrive with USB 3.0

ToK · 01-26-2011, 10:03 AM

Hi everyone,

i've a new USB 3.0 Hub card and plugged it into pcie1x. The chipset on this controller is a NEC uPD720200. I attached a HD to it but it wasn't recognized (but Windows does!).
I'm runnig archlinux (all updates) which shows the card/harddrive as (lsusb)
Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

fdisk doesn't show the device.

Does anybody has any idea how to access the HD?

Greetings

Please post the whole output of

And please post the last lines of /var/log/messages, direct after you plugged in the disk.
