USB 3.0 Device Not Recognised

Hi guys

Bought this flash drive a few weeks ago -

It works fine when plugged into a USB 2.0 slot, but nothing happens when I plug it in my USB 3.0 slots.

Bought my new PC in March this year, with this motherboard -

Suggestions?

Are the ports ON in the BIOS?

Have you got the drivers installed for the USB3 ports, theres two different control chips on the board, so theres two drivers for it.

Got them turned on in BIOS, i'll take a look at that link now

does anything else worked when plugged into that port?

I only have one USB 3.0 device so can't test it with anything else!


EDIT :


Downloaded the drivers, got it working.

For USB 3.0 is 12MB/Sec a good transfer speed? I was expecting faster!

It was around 150MB.

In the USB 2 port it went at 7MB/Sec, so I was hoping for more than 12MB/Sec in USB3
