If we connect a flash drive 3.0 to a computer that provides support for USB ports 3.0, and we see the message " This device can work faster when connected to Super-Speed \u200b\u200bUSB 3.0", These are friends, it means that we either insert the USB flash drive not in the USB 3.0 ports (with a blue tongue), or with their functioning there are problems, and they work in USB 2.0 mode. What causes the causes of problems with the work of USB 3.0 ports on computers, and how such problems are solved, we will try to understand today's article.

Let me remind you, the bandwidth of the USB 2.0 interface - 60 MB / s, and USB 3.0 is 10 times more, 625 MB / s. Naturally, rare from removable drives connected to the ports of USB 3.0 of the computer work at the limit of the capabilities of this interface, but it is of fundamental importance for individual information storage devices. For example, many modern external HDD models on the USB 3.0 interface will be able to issue a linear speed of 100-170 MB / s. Actually, the same as when connecting the inner rigid disks to the SATA interface. Whereas on the USB 2.0 interface, the linear speed of external hard drives on average is usually held at 30 MB / s. USB flash drives 3.0 on the USB 3.0 interface write data faster 2-3 times, and read - faster than 3-5 times. By the way, we talked in detail about the operating speeds of flash drives on USB 2.0 and 3.0 interfaces. In general, friends, if you have a removable drive 3.0, I believe that it is possible to deal with the performance of the USB port 3.0, if problems arose - the business is worthwhile.

Settings in bios.

USB 3.0 ports can work as part of USB 2.0, if so they are configured in the BIOS. This moment must be checked first. We go to the BIOS and are looking for, where USB ports are configured, usually this is the Advanced Advanced Settings section and subsection "USB Configuration". Or something with similar names. Here it is necessary to check whether USB 3.0 support is active. The "USB 3.0 Support" parameter must be "Enable". The "Enable" value should also be at the XHCI Hand-Off parameter, it may be called "XHCI Pre-Boot Mode", simply "XHCI" or somehow differently, but with the presence of a key term "XHCI".

XHCI is a USB 3.0 controller, and if the BIOS is not implemented by a separate item for supporting this "USB 3.0 Support" type interface, its turning on / off is implemented due to the controller. On some motherboards, the XHCI controller parameter may also be other values \u200b\u200bof the "auto" or "smart auto" type, providing USB ports 3.0 in 2.0 mode before loading the operating system with its USB 3.0 drivers. And such values \u200b\u200bmanufacturers of computer devices are usually set by default in order to make it possible to work with the modern USB interface inside the operating systems, while avoiding the setting of the installation of individuals, in the distribution kit that does not have USB 3.0 drivers. The most striking example is the official builds of Windows 7, the problem with the lack of drivers of which we discussed and solved. If you are on your, friends, PCs or laptop for installation cases of Windows 7 without integrated USB 3.0 drivers there are USB 2.0 operating ports (with a black tongue), you can safely set the XHCI controller setting to the "Enable" position. Only when installing the "seven" do not forget that the USB flash drive must be inserted into the USB 2.0 port.

Update Driver

Inside Windows operate at USB 2.0, the USB 3.0 interface may vary by the banal reason for the incorrect installation of the controller driver. This problem is solved by any of the ways to combat incorrectly installed drivers - or their update, or reinstalling. We use to start regular Windows capabilities. We go to the Device Manager. Reveal the USB Controllers Branch. Click expandable host controller. More often it is as "an expandable host controller Intel (R) USB 3.0", but in our case, for example, its manufacturer is the Japanese company Renesas. Call the context menu on it and select the driver update.

I have faced such a long time with such a problem on the already installed Windows 8.1 operating system. The computer was given to me so that I reinstall the system with Windows 8.1 on Windows 7, and first of all I checked the USB input. Connected a flash drive to it, a computer mouse, but a laptop never saw any equipment. Then noticed that the USB itself is a blue port of blue, and this suggests that it is USB 3.0

It does not work for only one reason, the driver for USB 3.0 is not installed in the system.

To check the presence of drivers in the system, look at the device manager, there are no questionings there and other characters next to the installed drivers. If there are no suspicious signs, then the driver is installed in the system, but it is either old or does not suit the operating system.

What are the problem solving options?

1. Alternatively, I downloaded to your USB 3.0 driver server for the Intel, AMD and ASUS motherboard. You need to download one of the drivers presented.

How to find out what your motherboard do you have?

On laptops, there is usually a sticker type Intel or AMD.

In the Device Manager in the USB Controllers section, pay attention to such inscriptions:

As you can see in the photo above, I have installed a motherboard with an Intel chipset, respectively, the driver needs to download exactly this manufacturer.

2. Download DRIVERPACK Solution, then install or update the USB 3.0 driver. The program is absolutely free and does not require installation, but for this 1 version requires an Internet connection.

3. If the two top options helped you, you need to either install from disks that were given when you buy a computer, or use my article "Where to download Drivers". In this article, I showed how to download firewood from official sites of manufacturers such as Acer, Samsung, Toshiba and Dell. The video is attached to the article.

But I think that the first option will necessarily help in solving this problem.

Hi friends! The other day, one of my buddy bought a new laptop with a pre-installed Windows 10 and asked me to install Windows 7 on it, but At the beginning of the installation of the system began to go out« Not found required driver for optical disk drive... ". We all know that this is due to the fact that the Windows 7 distribution does not contain driversUSB 3.0. and you just need to connect the bootable flash drive to the portUSB 2.0, but there was no such port on the laptop,all ports were USB 3.0 . At such a case, I have a different flash drive with drivers that you need to slip the Win 7 installer during installation, but this number does not ride. Attempting to use a portable USB drive and DVD-distribution Windows 7 also ended with this error. As a result, I applied for advice to my friend Vladimir and he advised very interesting decision!

Hi friends! If you look at the comments of our site over the past year, then you can see one constant problem that occurs from many readers, the essence of it. If you bought a new laptop (no matter what manufacturer), then on the official website of the manufacturer your laptop can download drivers Only for new operating systems: Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, and there is no drivers for Windows 7 and not foreseen.What kind of sin, Windows 10, and Win 8.1 work slowly on all laptops in the price range up to 30 thousand rubles (such such laptops buys most residents of Russia). The point here is certainly in low-power processors, tooyim are equipped with such laptops and Insufficient volume of RAM - 4 GB, and of course add brakesclassic hard drive (information storage device,based on the principle of magnetic record, the development of the last century).

The first thing that comes to the head of a person who bought such a laptop is to install it on it old and good Windows 7, with the hope that it will work faster (partly it is actually so), about my opinion, installing Windows 7 to a new laptop is not the most successful option, since the conflicts of the newest iron and the old operating system are inevitable. It is better, in this case, it will not be necessary to convert a hard disk into the GPT style, and there will always be a second working operating system pre-installed from the store - Win 10 or Win 8.1.

If both of the above options are not suitable for you and you decided to demolish everything from a hard disk of the laptop, and install on itWindows 7, I warn you to It will be a rather difficult task even for an experienced user, because to successfully install the seven, firstly, you need to create a specially bootable USB flash drive with Windows 7 so that the system sends the USB 3.0 ports, thenyou need to disable the UEFI interface on the new laptop, then convert a hard disk from the GPT style in the MBR and only after that Windows 7 will be installedBut that's not all!Those users who will be able to install Windows 7 to their devices already after successful installation systems are faced with the last and sometimes insurmountable task - find drivers for devices of their laptop under Win 7.

And in fact, and what kind of miraculous way to download the driver for a laptop on the Internet, if the drivers on the local Internet and Wi-Fi adapter are not installed, and the driver assembly located on an external USB disk cannot be launched, as they do not work on the laptop USB 3.0 ports (After all, the driver for the chipset and the USB controller is also not installed). Of course, if there is a drive on your laptop, then the driver can be downloaded on another computer and pour into a DVD disk, but not everyone has a second computer, but there is no drive on many new laptops and ultrabooks, and the builds with drivers on the DVD disk Do not fit.

Friends, actually solve all these questions can be! Let's step by step, go together all the steps of installing Windows 7 to a new laptop and everything will become clear to you.

We all know that installing Windows 7, 8.1, 10 occurs in two stages. First of all, the Windows Preset Wednesday is loaded from the file. boot.wim, at this point we accept the license agreement, select the section for installation and click the "Next" button, then follows the second stage, the winder of Windows unpacks the contents of the main operating system file to selected by us - install.wim. or install.esd.. So here you can use beforewindows 8.1 installation environment from Boot.wim file to install Windows 7 (file boot.wim in the Windows 8.1 distribution has USB 3.0 drivers), For this we andreplaced file. install.esd on Windows 8.1 File Flashinstall.wim from the Windows 7 Distribution And now our Windows 7, being on the Windows 8.1 boot flash drive, will calmly go through the first and second stage of installation on a new laptop with portsUSB 3.0.

Still be copied to the USB flash drive in the folder"SOURCES" windows Release Configuration FileeI.cfg. With content
