Public bug reported:

I bought a Samsung S2 Portable 3 disk with 1 TB diskspace. It's an USB3
disk, but right now I don't have a USB3 controller. Because it's USB2
compatible it should also work without usind USB3 hardware. The disk
itself can be found from the system:

This might look fine but after one or two seconds the log says this:

[88635.534292] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense Key : Recovered Error [current] 
[descriptor]
[88635.534298] Descriptor sense data with sense descriptors (in hex):

This goes on and on until I mount some partitions with it. Yes, fdisk and other 
stuff is working.
But: when I remove all filesystems and partitions the disk itself seems to "hop 
on hop off":

This counting of scsi15,16,17 is while I am not unplugging or plugging
in the cable, it's still plugged in the whole time. When I was fast
enough to bring a FS onto the disk and to bring it up I could use the
disk but I also had one time data-loss. This is something I cannot
recreate. But the scsi-sense-problems are even coming sometimes when
partitions of the disk are mounted. BTW, smartctl cannot find the disk:

/dev/sdb: Unknown USB bridge [0x04e8:0x60a6 (0x100)]

It might be that the disk simply is a bit new but hey, it's just a
disk...

Can anyone help with such topics? Maybe it's something with the udev-
system, where I only have to disable some automatisms to get a more
reliable disk. I don't think the disk is damaged, it runs fine under XP
systems without any errors.

Here comes more data about my system:
