Intel RST - Slow USB Transfer

Hi folks,

So I'm experiencing a very strange problem and I would like to know if any of you guys also have the problem.

I'm using a P150HM with a 2nd hard drive (using a caddy)
If my caddy hard drive is plugged in then all of my USB ports become *really* slow. As soon as I take the drive out again then the USB works fine.

I'm thinking this might be a bug in the Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers.
Is anyone using the latest version (10.6.0.1022) from Intel?
Have you experienced any problems upgrading to this driver version?

Thanks,
- Drax

 

Hello, see if updating your USB3 controller helps.

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for your help
Can you (or anyone else) explain this 'Intel Chipset Device Software' driver version oddity?

Latest available on the Intel website: v9.2.0.1030 (4/21/2011)
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Sea...ipsets&ProductProduct=Intel®+6+Series+Chipset

Latest available on the Clevo website: v9.2.0.1021

Latest available in the Cleve drivers thread: v9.2.3.1017 (6/16/11)
http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/573379-clevo-driver-thread.html

Why is the version in the driver thread such a higher version number?
Are we sure this is for the HM65 chipset?

(I'm going to repost this in the Clevo driver thread - hope nobody minds)

 

Hi Patrick,

Your suggestion of updating the Renesas drivers fixed my problem.
Many, many thanks for your help
Having slow USB was driving me crazy as I use it a lot.
