Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
Please try again with the drive connected directly to a motherboard USB
3.0 port.
I seem to recall that you have a lot of USB devices connected to your
computer(s). The Asus PRIME Z370-A II Series manual page ix states:
Intel ® Z370 Chipset
- 6 x USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports (4 ports @mid-board, 2 ports @back panel)
USB
- 6 x USB 2.0/1.1 ports (4 ports @mid-board, 2 ports @back panel)
Asmedia ® USB 3.1 Gen 2 controller
- 1 x USB 3.1 Gen 2 port @back panel (teal blue, Type-A)
- 1 x USB 3.1 Gen 2 port @back panel (USB Type CTM)
Page 1-16 states:
USB 3.1 Gen 1 connectors (20-1 pin U31G1_12; U31G1_34)
This connector allows you to connect a USB 3.1 Gen 1 module for
additional USB 3.1 Gen 1 front or rear panel ports. With an installed
USB 3.1 Gen 1 module, you can enjoy all the benefits of USB 3.1 Gen
1including faster data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gb/s, faster charging
time for USB-chargeable devices, optimized power efficiency, and
backward compatibility with USB 2.0.
The USB 3.1 Gen 1 module is purchased separately.
Page 1-17 states:
USB 2.0 connectors (10-1 pin USB910; USB1112)
These connectors are for USB 2.0 ports. Connect the USB module cable to
these connectors, then install the module to a slot opening at the back
of the system chassis. This USB connector complies with USB 2.0
specification that supports up to 480 Mb/s connection speed.
The USB 2.0 module is purchased separately.
STFW including asus.com, I am unable to find "USB 3.1 Gen 1 module" or
"USB 2.0 module" (?).
Does your chassis have front panel USB 2.0 and/or USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports
with cables and matching connectors? Have you connected them to the
motherboard headers? Do they work?
Alternatively, if you have an available chassis expansion slot:

I am unable to find a similar part for the motherboard USB 3.1 Gen 1
20-pin headers. Perhaps a USB 3.0 will work (?):

Or, if you have an available motherboard PCIe slot:
