Hi there
It's good to see Laptops now being fitted with at least one Native USB3 port (usually coloured BLUE). Unfortunately the only way I can try these is to use the self powered USB3 passport type devices and while my laptop has a decent Samsung 840 256GB SSD data transfer to / from the external USB3 HDD is only around 30 - 35 mbs at max -- should be a lot higher. A USB2 device gives me up to around 20 - 25 mps -- so while there IS improvement it's nothing like the speed I would have expected.
What are the large powered 3 / 4TB USB3 devices like when connected to a USB3 port both on a Laptop and a desktop. Hopefully they should perform much more near the proper USB3 rated speed.
Anybody got some typical results.
Cheers
