Initio inic 3609 windows 105/3/2023 ![]() ![]() I tried changing the three instances of "INIC-3609" to "BUP Slim SL" (for a silver Backup Plus Slim) and all of the PIDs to AB24 (VID:PID is 0BC2:AB24 for Backup Plus Slims), but the scans still fail. "iCommon.dll" seems to be hardcoded with PIDs 3910, 3940, and 3980 along with "INIC-3609" for the device name. The two tools "Config.exe" and "MTPwin2.exe" both scan for a compatible device, but find nothing. The FW update tool is included with an official update for a FANTEC enclosure here:Įnter the model "ER-U3", select "ER-U3 Docking Station", and press the search button. I'm interested in trying the INIC-3609 v5.08 firmware from to see if these drives can be fixed without having to do a bridge swap. Seagate claims there are no firmware updates. The drives work flawlessly after the Initio bridge is replaced with an ASMedia or JMicron bridge. I test the drives (read+write+verify all sectors), put them into service, and they start to malfunction within a few days of use (several threads updating log files every 30-60s). ![]() The problem is not cables, soldering, voltage/PSU, or anything else like that. The drives with other bridges all work fine. The ones with Initio INIC-3609 bridges for SATA-USB are all unreliable with occasional "silent" corruption (no pop-up in Windows, just an Event Log entry), Delayed Write Failed pop-ups, and momentary disconnects. I have around 50 Seagate Slim USB 3.0 drives. ![]()
