My laptop from 2012 is running Windows 8.0 core. And from what I think I understand, looking in Device Manager, it's mainly using the Microsoft drivers to run the USB 3.0 ports and hubs. Though some device titles say " Intel eXtensible 3.0 bla bla".

I like to install the latest Intel 3.0 xhci drivers to see if it fixes problems with my external USB enclosures

The Problem: No SMART data can be read/modified through this enclosure. Though some devices connected to this same 3.0 port are SMART enabled and show no problem with Smartmontools. It's just this enclosure with the Asmedia 1153E bridge/chipset in it that cannot be SMART controlled.

Am I in the right place? And which drivers do I need? - My laptop has Intel 7-series chipset.

The related USB 3.0 devices are manufactured by Intel, but natively not supported by the Intel USB 3.0 drivers while running Win8/8.1/10.

The installation of the modded Intel USB 3.0 drivers will be difficult, if you don't have alternative connection ports for your keyboard and mouse.

I am not sure, whether the installation of the Intel USB 3.0 drivers will solve this problem.
Have you ever tried the free tool named CrystalDiskInfo (look >here<)?

I have tried accessing the SMART data through various software like hddscan. It shows nothing just an error for disks in this enclosure. But will try crystalsiskinfo tonight.

What could be the problem do yo have any ideas for me to investigate?

All devices connected to the same usb3.0 port will show SMART data. They also show /dev/sda-z format assignment when I run "smartctl --scan" to detect all ATA devices connected to my system. But only the enclosure will show up as /dev/csmi0,0 (which indicates It is the only device behind a intel driver?)- Could this be a clue?

EDIT: I found out /dev/csmi0,0 isn't even a designation for a drive. But in that case smartctl --scan does not show this enclosure at all. Under windows explorer it does show. Under disk management as well. Usb3.0 speeds are up to par (90-190mb/s to and from this disk). Under device manager it shows under a "mass storage controller" label. Could it be this mass storage driver is not working with this device peoperly and not passing sata commands correctly? Can I try another mass storage controller driver. If yes which one? Is this directly related to AHCI should I uninstall this ?

I am trying to install Intel USB 3.0 Drivers v4.0.4.51 MOD on Windows 10 x64 running on a 7-series chipset with USB 3.0 ports.
I installed the certificate then installed the modded drivers. The USB 3.0 disk worked at full speed.
After a reboot, the USB disk won't show up in the explorer but the modded (and signed by WinRaid-RSA) controller and Hub are both still installed.

If I reboot with Driver Signature Enforcement DISABLED, it works again.

What can I do to have USB 3.0 persist after a reboot?

Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!

I suspect, that you haven't imported the Win-RAID CA Certificate correctly. Please redo the procedure.
What about the "USB Switch Driver"? Did you install it as well?

Thank you for the reply.
I used the .bat to install the certificate and the re-install said the certificate was already installed.

I replaced the USB Switch Driver and rebooted, but the USB 3.0 ports are still not working. They are supplying power just not transferring data. The drive's power light is flashing and is not detected, it should be solid when connected correctly.
After re-disabling driving signing, everything works again.

I some how got them working!

I removed (and deleted) the Controller driver and the "Switch Driver" manually in device manager.
When I removed (and deleted) the "Switch Driver" via Device Manager, it also uninstalled some other drivers, including my Intel graphics driver.
The screen went low resolution and did the normal flickering that goes along with the driver removal. My mouse and audio settings also were reset, so I assume it removed those too.
Before rebooting, I right clicked the .inf files and installed them that way then rebooted.
After maybe 4 more requested reboots everything was re-installed automatically by windows and the "PCI bus" is now using your modded driver.
I had to reinstall the USB Controller with your drivers. The USB Hub drivers automatically used your modded drivers.

(Remove and delete: Controller, Hub, then Switch Driver. Right Click install the .inf. Reboot and reboot more when requested. Manually install Controller Driver then check the other two are using the modded driver)

Everything works after that, so I am thinking that uninstalling the "PCI bus"/"Switch Driver" then manually right-click installing the .inf files before rebooting then letting windows reinstall everything is what fixed it.

Thank you for your support and for releasing these modified drivers.
Lenovo (My computer manufacturer) basically told me "Your computer isn't fully compatible with Windows 10, sorry you're out of luck".

Run the Device Manager, right click onto the "Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller", choose the options "Update Driver Software" > "Browse my computer..." > "Let me pick...", make sure, that the option "Show compatible hardware" is checked and click onto the listed device named "Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller 1.0 (Microsoft)" > "Next".
After the reboot you may have to restore the MS driver for the Intel USB 3.0 Hub and Switch devices the same way.

Hi, first of all thank you for the good job.

Before installing the modded driver (>64bit Intel USB 3.0 Drivers v4.0.4.51 mod+signed by Fernandoin) in the device manager I had always a yellow mark : Unknown USB Device (Link in Compliance Mode).
I think the installation goes well but using usb device tree view controller host estendibile intel(r) usb 3.0
