If I can assist with more information needed to put this in the database, let me know.

Further information from ​https://vdhout.nl/2020/01/seagate-e157925-jms577-pcb-with-standard-jmicron-firmware

On this page i found alternative firmware that could be used with this PCB. The Jmicron JMS577 chipset seems to be a special, vendor specific chipset that is interchangeable with the standard Jmicron JMS578 chipset. The JMS578 is a USB 3.1 Gen1 to SATA 6Gb/s bridge controller that supports UASP and has TRIM command support if a SSD is used.

[Christian Franke]

Newer JMicron USB->SATA bridges support -d sat. If this works, please provide a full smartctl -x -a output of a drive behind this controller. Add -q noserial if desired.

[emk2203]

Yes, -d sat works. I thought this was the default option, this is why I didn't try it, but obviously not.

Thanks.

-d sat could not be used as a default because some devices reportedly behave strange (e.g. disconnects USB) instead of reporting an unsupported SCSI opcode.
