Hi there,

This is the most difficult thing I have tried to figure out with linux. lol

Here is the output from linux mint. Yes I definately have usb3 port and only get usb3 performance on the read from device not the write to device. I dont know why. And I am not sure anyone does.

this is the output from lsusb on linux mint 17 and I have the same problem with it too

care@care-T1005 ~ $ lsusb

hi, well i suppose you have two usb3 port, just a try connect your usb 3 key to the other usb 3 port and try a data transfer to the hard disk a big size file and a lot of small size file:hdparm -I /dev/sdx | more and hdparm -t /dev/sdx if you install hdparm the first command tell you all the data of the disk or device,the second test the speed of your device, warning hdparm can damage your data if you use it in a wrong way.

Hi beny,

I know the lsusb output says there are 2 usb3 hubs but there is only one. My laptop has 3 usb ports and 1 usb 2.0, 1 usb 2.0 & Esata, 1 usb 3.0.

I have checked each port by plugging in usb key then lsusb command in console and there is no register for usb3 on any other usb ports.

When using the designated usb3 port on the laptop it always registers it as Bus 007 Device 002: ID 1058:1048 Western Digital Technologies, Inc. Never on Bus 007 Device 001:

Could this be causing the problem? or are there some settings in the bios. maybe this has something to do with port allocations with the hardware? I dont know what I am talking about with port allocations. what I am trying to say is maybe there is some hardware switch that is the problem not the software.

Because I do get usb3 speed on one half of the read/write process.
