I previously wrote about my experiences using an external 2.5 HDD enclosure. Today I received my AMS Electronics Venus DS3 external 3.5 HDD enclosure. I liked this model because it supports Firewire and USB 2.0, has an on-off switch, and provides an internal fan to cool hotter drives. I found mounting the drive inside the enclosure very easy and the product itself seems sturdy. The on-off switch should have been a rocker switch and not a somewhat weaker toggle, but it works ok.
On my laptop, when attaching the DS3 to the Firewire port on my Adaptec Duo Connect Firewire/USB adapter, dmesg reports the following:
fwohci0: BUS reset

fwohci0: node_id=0xc000ffc1, gen=3, CYCLEMASTER mode

I was successfully able to mount the hard drive and then copy large (~60 MB) files to and from the drive, verifying their integrity using md5. However, the kernel reported these errors:
sbp0:0:0 No ocb(cca634) on the queue
sbp0:0:0 No ocb(cca9dc) on the queue
sbp0:0:0 No ocb(cca01c) on the queue
sbp0:0:0 No ocb(cca154) on the queue
sbp0:0:0 No ocb(cca154) on the queue
sbp0:0:0 No ocb(cca154) on the queue
I tried disabling Tagged Queueing but the errors seemed to continue.
I found that attaching the device to the USB 1.1 port on the laptop itself worked, albeit with much slower transfer speeds. Here's how the kernel saw the device:
da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0:Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device
da0: 1.000MB/s transfers
da0: 4110MB (8418816 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 524C)
I had better results attaching the external HDD enclosure via Firewire to my Dell 2300 server via Adaptec Duo Connect PCI card. I saw the same error messages beginning with SYNCHRONIZE CACHE but none of the 'queue' errors.
Now that FreeBSD has started the freebsd-usb mailing list, I believe USB support will improve. I've never had much luck with USB 2 support using the ehci driver, which isn't in the default GENERIC kernel and must be added in via recompiling the kernel.
