Thanks!

Unfortunately '-d sntrealtek' could not be used unconditionally because 
the RTL9210B also supports SATA.
NVMe/SATA detection is not yet implemented. It would only work if the 
USB bridge behaves sane if the wrong (SATA instead of NVMe or vice 
versa) command is issued.

Could you possibly test how the enclosure behaves with a SATA device? 
Does '-d sat' work then?

Thanks,
Christian
