Hi,
I have a TARGUS DOCK190 USB3 dock.
I was having problems where it was very unstable when plugged into the FW16 ports 3,6
If I plugged USB SSDs into the DOCK, they would cycle connect/disconnect every few seconds and never work. The USB chips in the FW16 were resetting themselves and lsusb would pause while they reset themselves.
I recently connected the DOCK to a windows machine and it updated the dock firmware.
The DOCK firmware is dated September 2024.
Windows was able to see the USB SSD and it was stable.
When I plugged it back into my FW16 after doing the update, Linux could then see the USB SSD and it was stable while plugged into ports 3,6.
Summary:
The DOCK now works OK on the FW16, whereas before it failed.
It also charges the FW16 laptop OK at 100 Watts. 20V * 5A.
