[SOLVED] USB 3.0 how to install

[Akhtar Arain]

I have an Acer Aspire S3 laptop. It has only USB ports. I need USB 3.0 port. How can I install it on the Motherboard?

You don't.

Why do you NEED USB3? What are you trying to connect?

Dear tennis2, I want faster read/ write speeds. USB and USB 2 are slow

What kind of storage drive are you using? If you're using a USB stick or external HDD, there's a good chance it's the drive itself that is slow, such that using a faster interface won't help.

Eh, most external hard drives these days are usb3 and can sustain 100MB/s transfers on larger files.

Sorry though

According to this you should have 2 usb 3.0 ports.

Doh! I had considered looking it up, but I chose to take the OPs word for it.

So maybe we've just got a case of the USB3 drivers not being installed.

Are you maybe thinking about USB-C or Thunderbolt ports instead of USB 3?
