Subject: Re: usb 3.0 hard drive doesn't work

hi, Daniel
my usb 3.0 hard drive doesn't have external power. this is a "western
digital" usb hard drive: WDBACY5000AWT
here is a Product Specifications:
http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/AAG/ENG/4178-705131.pdf

i start my laptop with ubuntu, the usb3.0 port could use the usb3.0
hard drive. but the write speed is only 50MB/s (test with dd)
but archlinux cannot recognize the hard drive.

thank you for replaying.
