USB 3.0 PCI-E card question...
I recently installed the StarTech 2 port SuperSpeed card. I'm not getting any exclamation marks in device manager and the 3.0 root hub and host controller are displaying there.
My question is how do I make certain I am getting 3.0 speeds?
Transfers from a My Book to my desktop are running 108-124 MBps once the My Book is fully "awake" and it takes about 40 seconds to transfer a 4.05 GB file. Is this acceptable or is there something else I need to do to get faster speeds?
After installing the card I did get a message from Windows Action Center telling me the Nvidia chipset on my MB was missing a driver although there are no exclamation marks in DM as I said. Also, there is a USB Host Controller Utility that was installed with the driver that affords the option to disable USB 3.0 power management functions. Should I check that option?
Any assistance is appreciated.
