USB 3.0 capped at 22 Mbps

[Williamdry12]

I just revived my Corsair Flash Voyager GO 32Gb USB 3.0 drive, I plugged it in to transfer some movies onto it and I was pretty disappointed with the transfer speeds, I was getting a steady 22Mbps after initially spiking at 200+.

I have read that it could be the write speed of my HDD (5400RPM). so I moved the movie over to my SSD (Samsung 840 Evo 240gb) and I still got the same result.

I am using a MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard, and using the front panel USB 3.0 socket on the NZXT H440 case.

Any help would be great
Thanks

Have you properly installed the correct USB3.0 drivers for the appropriate USB3.0 controller brand?
On my devices, it will always operate at USB 2.0 speed until I install the USB 3.0 controller driver.

What would i have to update, i have just done the Bios update, and the intel chipset update (not sure if that helps) i cant find any specific usb drivers?

you didn't look very hard at msi website. it's listed right under "Drivers" for the motherboard. I don't know which windows you are using so here is a link http://us.msi.com/support/mb/Z97-GAMING-5.html#down-driver

Driver for usb 3.0 is on the cd that came with the board, as well as on msi's website

Yeah sorry I didnt look very hard, but what is the one i need to download? i am on the driver page, on windows 8.1 64, i still cannot see a USB driver there? or is it listed as something else?

Sorry for my lack of knowledge, software is my fall point

For some reason, they don't list the USB driver in any of the OS selections aside from Windows 7.

Disable Norton then for the installation, exactly why I never recommend Norton Antivirus.

Done that, i no longer get the treat removed message, but it is now telling me my pc does not meet the requirements to install it
