    USB Drive slow on laptop but not on desktop


    Context here! I have this USB 3.0 drive that's formatted with exfat. When I connect this drive to my main desktop the transfer speeds are really fast.But here's the issue. When I connect this same drive to my laptops usb 3.2 ports the transfer speed caps at 20mbps.I've already checked all the power related settings and I've even confirmed with a usb viewer software that windows detects the drive as 3.0 and not 2.0 which I was worried it did at first.What can be causing such a mystery? Both the pc and laptop had clean win 11 installs last month.The laptop is a Nitro 7 AN51.

    :)
