Since 4.18, all my external USB3-to-SATA Icybox disk enclosures with usb Id 357d:7788 (seems to be a very common controller chip: Sharkoon QuickPort XT) fail with the following error when mounting an ext4 fs: print_req_error: critical target error, dev sdd, sector 2048 Buffer I/O error on dev sdd1, logical block 0, lost sync page write EXT4-fs (sdd1): I/O error while writing superblock EXT4-fs (sdd1): mount failed - They worked before 4.18. - Reading is definitely ok, async writing seems to work, too. - The problem occurs with several different disks (I only tested HGST drives). - The same disks work in enclosures with other controllers.

Please bring this issue up there, if it is still a problem in the latest kernel release.
