USB drives in Fedora 26 with 4.13 kernel not recognized, device descriptor read/64, error -110

edit

We've tried a few different external USB drives and in the past week they've stopped working. The error I see below from the logs, error -110. This is a HP EliteDesk 800 G2 SFF with BIOS Revision: 2.22 and Firmware Revision: 5.54. I've seen other users in different OS like Ubuntu mention issues with BIOS/UEFI settings. There is a BIOS upgrade to 2.24 available for these units. I've tried using the USB 2 and 3 ports no difference. This SO thread seems to imply that error -110 is related to power exceeded but this is a desktop. Here are some logs around the time of the error and when the USB is inserted.
