I don't know if this is the correct place for this problem, but you
people can probably tell me the correct place.

I have two "USB to SATA adapter" dongles.  In general, they work fine.
However I've discovered that one of them handles large (1 TB and
above) drives correctly and one does not.  In particular, when I use
the unsuccessful one, neither fdisk nor gdisk reports the disk size
correctly, and the kernel does not read the partition table.

More confusingly, both dongles work correctly with large disks on
Windows 7 Professional.

Both of the following cases are when a 3.0 TB drive is attached.

The successful device has the "Diablo" brand.  The most interesting
messages in the log when I plug in the USB are (the complete message
set is appended below):
