Windows 10: Enabling UASP under Windows 10?

As I understand it, Windows 10 includes native support for the USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP). Therefore, if all hardware involved is capable of UASP, it will be enabled by default.

I recently acquired a Corsair Voyager GTX USB 3.0 flash drive. It is a cool piece of technology with an SSD controller built into a thumb drive form factor. And as I believe not only does it support UASP, it requires UASP in order to reach its advertised performance levels.

I also have an ASUS Rampage IV Extreme motherboard, which I believe was touted as one of the first mobos to include UASP support. It originally required the ASUS USB 3.0 Boost software under Windows 7 in order to work. But native support of UASP first under Windows 8 obviated the need for that.

However, I see that the Corsair Voyager GTX is attached via "USB (Serial ATA)" according to CrystalDiskInfo under Interface. If it were using UASP, it would say "UASP" there instead.

So all of that said, am I missing something or is there something I can do to rectify my lack of UASP connectivity?

Thanks for any thoughts!

Windows 10 and UASP Support for USB 3.0

Can you post your current setup? UASP is highly dependent on hardware support, your system won't be able to utilize it if your hardware doesn't support UASP even if you are running a supported OS. Does your Storage Controllers tab in Device Manager show
SCSI after inserting your UASP-enabled device?

 

Windows 10 and UASP Support for USB 3.0

I am in the process of building a new machine with Windows 10 on it. I currently have a machine with Windows 7.

Windows 7 does not have UASP support for USB 3.0 and I was hoping that when i connected my external USB 3.0 hard drive to my new Windows 10 machine that it would run faster. Unfortunately it actually runs a bit slower.

I have the updated drivers, I have an external enclosure and adapter card that both support UASP. I have gone into the properties of my drive and enable write caching and better performance but it still has not changed anything.

Any information on how to enable this would be appreciated as I have found nothing in a google search regarding UASP support in Windows 10.

Supposedly UASP support works in Windows 8.1 but I skipped right over that OS so I have nothing to compare to.

Thanks!

 

Hi, maybe these articles will point you in the right direction - certainly extremely informative and worth reading if you've not seen them.

Thanks for the links. Yes, I'll have to read through those and see if I can't find a way to enable UASP on my board. I know my board features the ASMedia USB 3.0 controllers, and according to what I have read those should be capable of UASP...

Thanks again.

 

Serial SATA is UASP.
Additionally it will show up under Device Manager > Storage Controllers as well if it's UASP.
