I contacted enclosure manufacturer (Welland) some weeks ago, they are supposed to escalate my questions to engineering and I'm still waiting for reply. Interesting thing is that I read AS1051 on the chip, but it is detected as AS2105 (maybe same VID and PID for different chips). I contacted ASMedia (chip bridge manufacturer), they replied that ASM1051 supports 48bit LBAs and that some FW feature and FW SPEC depends on manufacture's request. They added that this chip entered EOL this year and I have to contact Welland for support.
Anyway, it show explain way we see distinct behavior for same the chip (and same VID&PID).
