[PATCH] usb: storage: Add quirks for PNY Elite Portable SSD
From: Sam Burkels
Date: Fri May 01 2026 - 09:24:01 EST
The PNY Elite Portable SSD (USB ID 154b:f009) is a sibling of the
already-quirked PNY Pro Elite SSDs (154b:f00b and 154b:f00d). Like its
siblings, it uses a Phison-based USB-SATA bridge that exhibits
firmware bugs when bound to the uas driver.
Without quirks, the device fails to complete READ CAPACITY commands
when accessed over UAS on a SuperSpeed (USB 3) port. The device
enumerates and reports as a SCSI direct-access device, but reports
zero logical blocks and never finishes spin-up:
usb 2-3: new SuperSpeed USB device number 8 using xhci_hcd
usb 2-3: New USB device found, idVendor=154b, idProduct=f009
usb 2-3: Product: PNY ELITE PSSD
usb 2-3: Manufacturer: PNY
scsi host0: uas
scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access PNY PNY ELITE PSSD 0
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Spinning up disk...
[...10+ seconds of polling, no progress...]
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Read Capacity(16) failed: hostbyte=DID_ERROR
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Read Capacity(10) failed: hostbyte=DID_ERROR
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 0 512-byte logical blocks: (0 B/0 B)
Tested each individual quirk to find the minimum that fixes this:
- US_FL_NO_ATA_1X alone: device hangs on spin-up
- US_FL_NO_REPORT_OPCODES alone: works on USB 2.0, hangs on USB 3.0
- US_FL_NO_ATA_1X | US_FL_NO_REPORT_OPCODES: works on both
With both quirks the device enumerates correctly while still using
the uas driver, and delivers full UAS throughput (~281 MB/s
sequential read on a USB 3.0 Gen 1 port).
The existing PNY Pro Elite entries (f00b, f00d) only set NO_ATA_1X,
but this device additionally chokes on REPORT OPCODES under
SuperSpeed.
