Hey RehabMan and others dealing with El Cap USB 3.0 power issues
I seem to have resolved the USB 3.0 power issue with the usbhubpowerfix located here:

Also, do you think changing system definitions would help? Currently on Macpro 3,1
Hey GMarz,
Can you share you USB patch? I've done extensive work in this area and can only mount one usb 3.0 drive at a time. Would love to know what worked for you.
Hi,
Thank you for this guide. I made it over here through your 10.11.4+ guide. I am currently running 10.11.6

Thanks.
Rehabman,

I spoke a little too soon. I was able to replicate the issue after a reboot.
Iphone works fine as well as USB2 devices, perhaps this was a HighCurrent issue.
Now USB3 drive "needs power" you will see it listed on SS04, but won't mount.
Tried other SSxx ports with the same effect.
This is an...
Rehabman,
I believe the highCurrent has solved the issue.
I was getting inconsistent mounting results after each reboot - different drives/devices mounting/not-mounting or reporting no power so it was difficult for me to track down a specific port. HighCurrent seems to have allowed everything...
Apologies.
I certainly don't mean to waste your time.
Still having USB power issues.
USB2.0 devices, iphone, thumb drives etc reporting "USB DEVICE NEEDS POWER"

Hi Ammulder,
Thanks for your outstanding and detailed work here. I have a skylake system and I have followed you usb procedure with general success. I have 14 listed in the IO registry, however I can't seem to get power to my lacie USB 3 drive through any of these ports. Wondering if I have made...
