Hello,
Hope I am posting to the right place, because my issue is not just about Artix ...
I just bought a USB3 to M.2 NVME / SATA SSD Enclosure Adapter:
https://www.alxum.com/collections/hard-drive-accessories/products/m-2-nvme-sata-ssd-enclosure-adapter?variant=40139874566297
I transferred more than 500GB of small files (various data and photos) to it.
Regardless of Linux distro or PC (I have experimented), this device is "automatically" unmounted after five minutes, when I read or write large (video) files.
In the attached file I copy the results from dmesg on this.
This device is correctly detected by lsusb
lsusb
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bda:9210 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL9210 M.2 NVME Adapter
The ext4 partition on this SSD is automatically mounted under / dev / sdg1
lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sdg 8:96 0 931,5G 0 disk
└─sdg1 8:97 0 931,5G 0 part /run/media/jp/M2-nvme-1T
But if I run inxi -Fc this /dev/sdg (ID-4)drive appears differently (also in the dmesg report):
inxi -Fc

I saw that others had a similar problem and one apparently solved using usb_modeswitch:

Before I jump into usb_modeswitch which I am not familiar with, I thought I would ask you if you see another possibility to work around this problem.
Fortunately, I have an M2-nvme port on the motherboard, so I can manage while waiting for a possible solution.
Thank you in advance for your ideas and suggestions,
