I have used this workaround for a LaCie DVD RW (being used as a USB hard drive adapter): 059f:0363 (I obtain the usb id for my particular enclosure using `lsusb`).

 - For temporarily adding the quirks, I stop the kernel module: `modprobe -r usb-storage` (I may also need to stop dependent kernel modules, e.g. `modprobe -r uas` beforehand), and then restart with quirks: `modprobe usb-storage quirks=059f:0363:uw`.

 - For permanently adding the quirks, I followed the suggest in #34 where I use e.g. `sudo sh -c 'echo "options usb-storage quirks=059f:0363:uw" > /etc/modprobe.d/lacie-quirks.conf'`. Replace 059f:0363 with usb id for your enclosure, and maybe call it "maxtor-quirks.conf" if that's what you have.
