The drive is not running
noticeably faster when
connected via Hi-Speed
USB 2.0.
Is the drive connected to a USB 1.1
port on your computer, or to a USB
1.1 hub?
If your drive is connected to a USB 1.1 port or hub, this is normal.
A Hi-Speed USB 2.0 device can only operate at Hi-Speed USB 2.0
performance levels when it is connected directly to a Hi-Speed USB
2.0 port or hub. Otherwise, the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 device will operate
at the slower USB 1.1 transfer rates.
Is the drive connected to a Hi-
Speed USB 2.0 port on your
computer?
Check to see that the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 drivers for both your host bus
adapter and device have been installed correctly. If in doubt, uninstall
the drivers and re-install them.
Does your computer or operating
system support Hi-Speed USB 2.0?
