Asus usb 3.1 boost?

[wgustaf91]

Is the asus usb 3.1 boost supposed to also work as the 3.0 boost still? I have never used either but I downloaded the latest version which is now 3.1 boost and it makes no difference with a 3.0 flash drive I'm testing. Is it not supposed to work on 3.0 if you have the latest version? I figured it should be backwards compatible.

Thats if you install a PCI-E USB 3.1 card (you may have to update the BIOS) so it supports the card

It's not for USB 3 flash drives

Does the asus usb 3.0 boost work for flash drives?

Though USB 3.0 is faster the device you use in the usb 3.0 port has to have UASP protocol support.
If it does not then you will not see a boost in speed to what you have been seeing with a Usb device that does not incorporate the hardware protocol.

Any device with UASP support should be detected and enabled via the Asus Usb 3.0 Boost software suite provided.

And yes it work for USB flash devices at 3.0 standard, depending on the quality of the Nand flash ram bank used in the pen.

Have no idea never used it

Looks like it supports USB hdd's. So it may only support hdds not flash drives
