  • USB 3.0 Not working with Max 5G external enclosure

    hello All...

    I installed 2x Thermaltake Max 5G USB 3.0 external HDD with 2x WDC WD1002FAEX-00Y9A0 (WD-WCAW30676002)'s SATA 3 drives. Their partitioned and formated online and working but I get a warning stating "The device will perform faster if I connect to a USB 2.0 port." 37.2 average read tests with aida64 EE. Very, very sad. I'm running the FG1 Beta bios. Tried removing and reinstalling the usb3 drivers with no luck. I also found out through Gigabyte tech support the bios was to blame as well from the last nightmare with this board. Thanks in advance.

              Re: USB 3.0 Not working with Max 5G external enclosure

              Hello again,

              Updated the driver and firmware with no luck. Still the same no change. I have not tried bios FH1 yet I'll let you know how that works out. I did notice in the device manager if I look at the usb3 root hub theres nothing atached to it like the others that are listed, not sure if that means anything or not. Thank again.

                Re: USB 3.0 Not working with Max 5G external enclosure

                So the drive does not show up at all when connected to a usb3 port and does not work? But if connected to USB2 it works but at USB2 speeds?

                You are using a USB3 cable? Do other devices work on the USB3 ports?

                  Hello,

                  The drives are there and working but very slow, best speed is 37.2Mb per sec. and everytime I boot into windows I get a popup message stating the device can perform faster if you connect it to super speed usb 3.0 port x2 (like there connected to a usb 1 or 2 port). I have used other usb devices with the usb3 ports with no message and they did seem to work properly. I'm using the usb 3.0 cables that came with the Max 5g's and they did work on other ports.
