originally posted in this thread about a kernel PnP warning showing in Event viewer. http://www.eightforums.com/drivers-hardware/61382-kernel-pnp-warning.html
I stated i kept getting this warning in 100's in my event viewer, plus PC go into boot loop on restarts only and that part was solved with BIOS update. Also stated as long as i had this system with Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit my USB 3.0 speeds were very slow.
With Windows 8.1 i saw this and read about the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver that Win 8.1 uses it's own, Intel does not supply one for 8.1 or 8. I have Microsoft Driver that i am sure most have with Win8.1

I felt this was reasoning with my USB 3.0 issues, the driver. Gigabyte possibly thought might be the board.
When using a USB 3.0 External Hard drive i am getting between 50mbs -100mbs ,even slower then USB 2.0, tried different drives and tested each.
Question is i came across a thread in a forum on researching this problem, someone said to go to Disk Management when drive is hooked up, right click the drive and select Properties, then select Policies. Under policies 2 choices, Quick Removal (Default) and Better performance, first one disables write caching and second one enables it. Said to select Better Performance.
Seems when i choose Better performance now my USB 3.0 has incredible speeds on USB 3.0, some as fast as 2GHZ transfer, some at 1.36GHZ.
Question is is this correct to do, i see internal drives are set this way, but enables write caching now on External ?
Instead of pulling the USB 3.0 device from port, do i have to then use Safely remove hardware in Notification area instead ?
Looks like my speed issues are fixed, not sure of these settings.
