The external disk was a "Intenso memory box 3TB". For some details look in the list archives for a subject "USB3 disk failing on 9.3R". Sadly there is no detailed list from usbconfig or so. But I have the empty case lying around. I solved it by ripping the disk drive out of the case implanting it into a cheap Logilink case, which I knew before it is actually working using FreeBSD. The type on the sticker says "UA0107A", slightly different when not silver but black anodized aluminium, but both do work wiht 3TB drives for me. The disk drive is a Toshiba DT01ACA300, working nicely.
