I have a Raspberry Pi4 and I've had trouble with some adapters for some
sata ssds I've tried using with it. I have several usb3 adapters that
don't support uasp. When I try using one, the speeds are slow and I get
lots of errors.  I looked this up online and everything I saw about it
said that some usb3 ssd adapters don't support uasp and a  system trying
to use it will get slow speeds and lots of errors. Some of the stuff I
read says how to get the manufacturer and model id numbers and put them
in /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt so the system will not try using uasp with
those devices.  In  the cmdline.txt file on my Pi4, I have the following
at the front of cmdline.txt:

usb-storage-quirks-152d:0578:u (152d:0578 is the manufacturer and  
device numbers for the device in question.)

This is supposed to tell the system not to use uasp on the specified
device.  I tried that, and rebooted the pi, but still have the problem.
The only way I got it working was to plug the second drive into a usb2
port.  It's a bit slower, but works.

Here it told how to identify the device and how to modify cmdline.txt to
tell the system not to use uasp with the device

The cmdline.txt file starts with usb-storage-quirks-152d:0578:u

Typing lsusb identifies the device.

$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 14b0:0206 StarTech.com Ltd.  Vi550 S3  This one
works. The drive the pi boots from is connected to it.

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 152d:0578 JMicron Technology Corp. / JMicron USA
Technology Corp. JMS578 SATA 6Gb/s This is the one I'm having trouble with.

It does not work without lots of errors. I only got it working by
putting it in a usb2 port.  Is there any way to test whether or not a
device supports uasp?

Thanks for any help you can send my way.
