I recently acquired a 2TB 'Seagate Expansion' drive with a (claimed) USB 3.0 interface.
Using the USB 3.0 ports on my P8Z68 Pro I only achieve 40-45MBps read and write rates. This drive should be faster. I have no idea what is wrong. I have the Asus USB 3.0 'Turbo' drivers installed. Under both normal and 'turbo' mode the speeds are exactly the same.
I have no clue at all as to what type of drive is actually inside the thing. It should be a hell of a lot faster then 40MBps on a USB 3.0 interface though.
Any help is appreciated.
