Unknown USB Device (Set Address Failed) when attaching hard drive

I am attempting to attached a hard drive to my Windows 10 Dell Latitude E5470 laptop using a USB cable. When I plug it in I am seeing a "USB Attached SCSI (UAS) Mass Storage Device" followed by a "Unknown USB Device (Set Address Failed)" error.

I've tried -

1. Rebooting
2. Attaching to different USB ports
3. Running Windows Update
4. Updating USB Drivers in Device Manager
5. Uninstalling and re-installing the Unknown USB Device
6. Disabling “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” in power management
7. Turning off "USB selective suspend"
8. Uninstalling Hidden Devices
9. Running Microsoft’s USB Troubleshooter

I'm not sure what to try next.


Below are screenshots and details of my system and related event viewer messages.
the error and my system.

Thank you in advance for your help! Any assistance you can offer would be much appreciated.

Try another USB-SATA adapter (preferably a "branded" one). If you are connecting the disk to a USB 3.0 [3.1 Gen 1] port, you don´t need a Gen. 2-compatible adapter. Use a Gen. 1 adapter, which is cheaper and has longer cables.
