how to change "USB attached SCSI mass storage device" to "USB mass storage device"

Hi there:

I have a Seagate USB portable drive and I mainly use it to connect to my ASUS Oplay! media player to watch the content on TV.

This device use to be an USB mass storage device.

Recently, I noticed whenever I eject my seagte portable drive, the device is showing as ""USB attached SCSI mass storage device" instead of a regular "USB mass storage device". This is when my media player stopped recognising the portable drive (showing
the device is not supported). The portable drive works fine on my Windows 10 PC, just not recognising by my media player anymore.

Wondering if anyone can point out how I can restore my portable hard drive back to a generic USB mass storage device instead of being a "USB attached SCSI mass storage device".

Thank you.

 

External SSD drive Not configured correctly as a USB Mass Storage Device.

Hi,

My external Samsung SSD drive is working.

But it is not showing up as a USB Mass Storage Device, which it should.

and it does not display Eject in the right click context menu, like other external SSD drives.

Comparing it with other external drives.

The difference is showing at Hardware Properties.

Properties - Hardware (windows menu tab) - Device Properties says "Location: Bus Number 0, Target ID 0, LUN 0" at the bottom.

It should say "Location: on USB Mass Storage Device. " Like my other External drives.

Policies is set to Quick removal (default) which should be fine.

formatting the drive both in exFAT and NTFS. and assigning another drive Letter and using other USB slots on the PC. Did nothing.

Uninstalling/reinstalling the USB drive in Device Manager or Computer Manager did nothing.

Driver details should be fine.

C:WINDOWS\system\32\DRIVERS\disk.sys

C:WINDOWS\system\32\drivers\EhStorClass.sys

C:WINDOWS\system\32\drivers\partmgr.sys

And device is working properly.

So I hope someone out there knows how to configure a drive from Location: Bus Number 0, Target ID 0, LUN 0"

to Location: on USB Mass Storage Device.

 

windows 10 connecting usb 3.0 mass storage to yoga 2 tablet

I have a new yoga 2 10.1 tablet with windows 10 and can't access files from my external hard drive connected via USB. The tablet recognizes that a mass storage device is connected, but it does not show up in my files so I cannot access them. Could this
be because my micro USB converter cannot handle the USB 3.0 connection?
