USB 3 on P7P55D-E

Hey,

I recently bought an USB 3.0 external hard disk drive. However when copying data to the harddrive i am getting extremely slow speeds (for usb 3) around 20-30mb/s. I thought usb 3 was supposed to run at 70mb/s+. Are there any things on this motherboard that i have to enable to make the harddrive run correctly or at the correct speed.

Also does anyone have this motherboard that can confim the usb 3 speeds on this motherboard.

I will post screen shots later.

Thankyou for any help that you can give me with this issue.:

measuring them when copying files in realtime on windows. Why is there some software or something that i should be using to test the speeds.
