Hi,
First time on this forums, and Dutch aswell, so I apologise if I do or say something wrong.
I have a ASUS N56VM laptop, I have upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro a few months ago (free DreamSpark account) and I can't get USB 3.0 to work at the speeds at which it needs to work. An 3GB ISO which I copy from my HDD to an USB3.0 USB-stick gets a max speed of 25 mb per second. I have already tried everything I could think of, including the following:

The driver I have is: imgur: the simple image sharer
Any help in this would be much appreciated. The only thing I can think of is maybe mailing ASUS if they can supply a new BIOS revision or mailing Intel if they can supply some new chipset drivers...
Thanks in advance!
Sander
EDIT1: A few months back, when the laptop was still running Windows 7, the read/write speeds were "normal", meaning that they were what you would expect from USB 3.0.

- Upgrading Intel chipset drivers from ASUS support site (delete old, install new)
- Upgrading BIOS
- INF hack (Windows 8 and Intel USB 3.0 Host Controllers | Plugable)
