That suggests that the stabilizer transparently resets the drive when it it hangs up, and Windows is unaware that this is happening.

[Unlocked] USB drives all support pass through for VSC, so the stabilizer adds nothing in this regard.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\disk]
"ErrorControl"=dword:00000001
"DisplayName"="@disk.inf,%disk_ServiceDesc%;Disk Driver"
"TimeOutValue"=dword:0000003c
"IoTimeoutValue"=dword:0000003c

So basically Windows is too stupid to handle errors gracefully, and the stabilizer keeps it out of the picture by lying to it?
In any case, there was a discussion in another forum which turned up an interesting titbit, namely that Windows uses a single timeout value for all disk I/O (in the registry), including spin up.
I wonder what would happen if this timeout were reduced to its minimum value, ie 1 second. The default is 60 seconds (= 0x3C). Other people referred to an error recovery timeout of 600ms or 500ms, but no-one was able to back it up with references.
This begs the question, why do Ace and others choose Windows as their platform?

Full switching of both power and data lines

It allows the ability to increase the cluster size to a point that greatly speeds up the cloning. Try that with the USB Stabilizer

Or can the stabilizer achieve the same control with basic adapters?

Yes. Stabilizer doesn't do all that AFAIU (disabling bad PCIe lanes etc. - I think this refers to DDI PCIe SSD Add-on)
Works with any non-proprietary USB storage, including devices converted to USB through an adapter. With basic adapters it can be used with almost any type of storage device, including SATA drives and the newest AHCI/NVMe PCIe SSDs.
