When I upgraded from Maverick to High Sierra via a clean Vanilla install, I lost the use of my USB 3.0 (NEC D720200F1 chipset) ports on my motherboard. I tried the following solutions to get it work:
The closest I've gotten is getting 1 out of the 2 USB ports to work properly. Data transfers fine and at the appropriate speed, but it doesn't show up anywhere in the System Profiler. After a lot of digging, reading various forum posts, and trying different things, it seemed the only solution was to do the whole "[Guide] Creating a Custom SSDT for USBInjectAll.kext" thing. Unfortunately, I'm in the middle of a project and don't have the time for further tinkering, so I resorted to buying a PCIE USB 3.1 card with a chipset that should be natively supported.
First I tried StarTech.com Dual Port USB 3.1 Card - 2X USB-A - 10Gbps per Port - (PEXUSB312A2) Expansion Card which contains the ASM2142 chip. Didn't work in High Sierra (nothing mounts, no listing in diskutil list, and no entires in System Profiler or Disk Utility). I booted up my old Maverick hard drive, and it worked perfectly. I booted up a Linux Mint live 19.1 live disk, and it worked perfectly.
Thinking the ASM2142 chip wasn't supported in High Sierra 10.13.4, I returned it and bought an ORICO USB3.1 Type-C and Type-A 2-Port PCI (PA31-AC) Express Card which uses the ASM1142 chip, but I'm having the same exact issues as described in the previous paragraph. I realize now that it says "Not compatible with Mac OS", but I thought any card with ASM1142 chip was natively supported?
Since the card works in my other setups, I know it's not an issue with the card being defective, but I'm running out of ideas and my return window closes by Saturday. Please Help.
