Windows 10: External USB3.0 SSD recognized as USB2.1 with slow speed

Good day.I got:MSI LaptopWindows 10 Pro 22H2USB Ugreen SSD case + 1 TB SSDSSD was recognized as USB2.0 from the very first time I connect it to laptop, but I learn somewhere trick with reboot in safe mode and it only thing works in my case, From time to time actually 2 times it get back to USB 2.1, and trick with safe mode reboot works. Until yesterday - I find SSD switched back to USB 2.1, reboot in safe mode, and back, and it still 2.1Fun fact - than I plug in my old HDD with external case it is recognized as solid USB 3.0, which magickly works 10 times faster than SSDSwitching USB

USB3 HDD slower in USB3 socket than powered USB2 socket


Hi there

crazy --I have a laptop with 1 USB3 socket and 2 USB2 sockets. The USB3 socket is also a "charging" usb socket.

Now if I plug a USB3 HDD (Toshiba) into a USB2 socket where I've connected a powered USB2 hub I'm getting copy speeds of around 76 mb/s. The same HDD plugged into the USB3 socket is only giving me speeds of around 30 mb/sec. I'm copying the same file from an internal SSD.

So far I haven't seen any advantage in using the USB3 socket over a USB2 powered hub -- is this W10 not having proper USB3 support yet,

Cheers

USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter not reaching full speeds on USB2

hi guys,
I have an odd problem - just recently we moved to Germany and there's a new connection here, with a Fritzbox, which seems to be popular, and here's the situation.

I have an ASUS VivoBook S15 S510UQ that I really like, overall works well. Now something strange happened since arriving here. I wanted to test the speed of the connection with the Ethernet Cable and saw it was quite slow, and wifi going faster....which is very odd..

so this is the setup: Hamlet USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter going to the Ethernet Cable, I will attach 2 speed test screen shots so you will see.

Basically when the adaptor is plugged to the usb2 port, it doesn't go past 10-11mbps which is very slow (basically 1.4 MB/SEC) whereas if I plug it into the usb3 port, it goes to the full potential of this connection which is approx. 160mbps that is almost 20 MB/SEC and that's quite great.

Now this might seem normal, usb3 adaptor in usb3 port, etc but the thing is it never behaved this way and also, on my wife's Win10 PC (same setup as mine pretty much) but it's a Lenovo Yoga, it does exactly the same speed on both USB2 and USB3 ports, maybe 1mbps more than mine but we'll leave that one out.
In Italy I have a 200mbps connection and I am able to reach 198 mbs with the speed tests on the usb2 -- that was a few months ago.

Now I updated the drivers of the USB adaptor and nothing changed, the only recent thing happening was a windows update and that's that.

Do you guys have any ideas? Oh and to complicate the situation, when I go into STATUS it shows 1 Gbps in both configurations usb2 and usb3 - it's just the throughput that dramatically changes?

any ideas? Asus support suggested me to reinstall the chipset drivers, which I did but nothing changed and I don't want to do a system restore as the machine runs well. I usually keep the SS USB3 free in case I have to transfer files with the external hdd and not for the internet....oh well....

The usb is recognized by windows as ASIX AX88179 USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

on the USB 3





on the USB 2





thanks guys!

USB3 Hub works on usb2 port, but not on usb3 port

USB3 Hub with 1x usb3 & 2x usb2, works on usb2 port, but not on usb3 port

On both Win 7 & 10 the same.

I checked the working usb2 driver - iusb3hub.sys

I have a pure usb3 hub that works, with the same iusb3hub.sys driver.

when trying to update/correct the driver for the "unknown device" on the usb3 port, it only accepts ".inf" files.

There are several other devices that don't work on the usb3 port.

Takers?
