I recently added a USB3 PCI card to my Dell Poweredge 1430 server box.
I've tried plugging in various USB3 and USB2 devices (FLASH sticks, a WD
MyBook 3TB external drive, etc) but they are not recognized by Debian as
disks.
When I plug these devices into a USB2 card also on the same server, they
are recognized, but I'm limited to USB2 data speeds on the USB3 devices.
Am I missing a driver for the USB3 card?
Are some USB3 chipsets not supported?
Am I missing something important?
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Rick
With the disk plugged into the USB2 card, I get the following

But if I plug the same disk into the USB3 card, I get the following
