This may be a trip to the motherboard manufacturer's documentation. Id the
port it is connected to, and find out what chipset it is connected to.
I have seen some of these "3rd party" chipsets used to provide cheap
fakeraid, extra ports when the primary chipset doesn't have enough PCI/PCIe
lanes and a handful of other reasons. they invariably cause issues with
Linux because they try to fake something that Linux sees through and tells
them to Stuff it.
Also check in BIOS if you can enable any extra removable features this will
convince Linux its not a real HDD and put it behind the USB flags.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
