Can anyone shed some light on windows 7 tool that alerts connecting to
a USB3 can achieve faster access. I get this sometimes even when I am
connecting a USB3 device but win7 doesn't agree. Can this utility be
accessed to check connections? So far the only way I can tell is viewing
the speed of files being transferred.

Are you connecting your device with the USB3 port? Having a USB3
compatible device is one thing but you also need a USB3 port and this is
normally distinguished by looking at the pins on the port. There are
normally 4 pins on a USB3 port. check it out and post back.

Also note that Most new machines have some USB3 ports and some are still
USB2 ports and one port USB2 is for debugging something. Now I can't
tell you what it is for because I haven't used it for anything else
except to hook my mouse.
