Question [SOLVED] Crucial NVMe SSD (CT4000P3SSD8) not working in Icy Box USB Enclosure (Chipset JMS583)

[Nafrayu]

I made the mistake of buying an Icy Box PCIE 3.0 Gen 2 NVMe enclosure (IB-1817Ma-C31)
for a PCIE 3.0 Gen 4 Crucial SSD (CT4000P3SSD8)

When i try to initialize the disk windows just says "The request failed due to a fatal device hardware error"
On USB 2.0 Ports the SSD works fine though.

How screwed am i? Is there anything i can do?

Are there any enclosures that support Gen 4 SSDs (Albeit at lower speeds of course?)

I found a solution to this issue!



I used the "JMS583 modified firmware 213" Link shown below.

As requested RTL9210A firmware 1.29.8A and B and 1.30.21 for B reuploaded and i also added for JMS583 firmware 213 with some modifications done so that name of drive, parameters and stuff are seen by windows programs proper. Inside the package are 2 examples on how the enclosure is seen at eject from windows. Who wants to modify the firmware for it's custom name can do a hex compare , see the name change and do it (see included txt file).

Also as an extra and if you guys are willing to share, i have added also Asmedia and Jmicron firmware dumpers along with some of my tests on my enclosures.

I am looking for ASM2362 firmwares that are generic ones (ending in 00 00) to play with and the only ones i found are very old and on chinese payed websites where i do not have access. So maybe someone is willing to dump some firmwares since it's not distructive and requires only an exe run and drive select.
