You want ASMedia ASM1351 (heatsinked) or ASM235CM on the device side 🥹
This box has 4x ASM235CM and from the testing I've conducted over the last week it seems rock solid, so long as it's not connected to the Ryzen's built-in USB controller. It's been flawless on the B350 chipset's USB controller.
I don’t know, but I’d guess the buffered chipset controller has more stability during certain power state transitions.
I think I've seen this hypothesis too and it makes sense to me.
If I'm building a new AMD system today, I'd look for a board that exposes more of the chipset-provided USB ports. Otherwise I'd budget for a high quality 4-port PCIe USB controller, if I'm planning to rely a lot on USB on that system.
This article provides some context. Now I do have the latest firmware which should have these fixes but they don't seem to be foolproof. I've seen reports around the web that the firmware improves things but doesn't completely eliminate them.
If you've seen devices disconnecting and reconnecting on occasion, it could be it.
