USB 3.0 on X62

#1 Post by x40Dallas » Fri Jun 24, 2022 3:57 pm

Hey guys,
When I got my X62, I was told it has USB 3.0, and I see it in device manager, but in each of the three USB ports, the OS tells me the device could perform faster "if you connect it to a super speed usb 3 port".

More importantly, I can't remember transfer rates being more than about 25MB/s.

Any ideas how to change these ports to be USB 3? The current drivers say Microsoft 2006 (like all my peripherals seem to).

Thanks in advance for your help!

Trying to post a pic of my device manager. The two circled/indicated items are USB drives plugged into my USB ports.

My T440p with USB 3.0 and W7 uses this driver:

Should also work on yours.
