Good hint…
I came across this
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1242321
In note #46 there, James Ralston suggests turning off “auto suspend” on the
relevant USB device by doing

I haven’t tried it yet, but it’s almost the only hope I’ve found so far.
Lots of folks say their USB3 ports work fine under Windoze but fail (in various
ways) under Linux, so it’s not likely to be the hardware at fault (or at least,
if the hardware is broken, MS has a workaround that Linux doesn’t). I don’t
have a working Windows boot disk for this machine, so I can’t check if my
situation is similar.
There are several threads from the Ubuntu forums (I’m using Debian Stretch, but
I’ll take any port in a storm!) indicating that a *lot* of people are
encountering similar problems with USB3.
