USB 3.0 hardware only running at USB 2 speeds
I have been trying for a while to get my USB 3.0 HDD dock to run at USB 3.0 speeds. I returned the Vantec dock I had as I was told it was defective, but this new Syba SY-ENC35026 one does the same. I have reinstalled windows a few times and tried various drivers too.
Since I have found that nothing plugged into my usb 3.0 ports (tried the ones directly on the motherboard and front panel,) runs at super-speed. My Samsung Note 3 nor a usb 3 stick I have run at the correct speed. UsbTreeView shows all these devices running/connected at Hi-speed (usb 2.)
Any ideas? I have tried a few drivers from MSI and Intel to no avail and the device manager seems to show all working correctly/3.0 drivers installed, I just can't get them to connect at usb 3.0 speeds For example the WD Black drives I use in the docks only run at 40-45 MB/s and they should be 2x+ that at usb 3.0. I have tried multiple 3.0 cables too. I went so far as to swap motherboards with a Gigabyte one and it was the same so got another MSI and its the same too. Does the same on an old computer with the same Win 7 64 bit downstairs even. I'm pretty stumped now
Thanks for the help :)
