I have a USB 3.0 Toshiba external drive which has a read speed of 53 - 114 MB/sec when connected to my home theater PC, but only 25 - 29 MB/sec when connected to my Toshiba laptop 3.0 port (it has the blue insert). In addition the indicator light on the external drive flashes blue when connected to a 3.0 port, and it flashes white when connected to a 2.0 port. It flashes white when connected to my laptop's 3.0 port.
I tried finding new drivers but there doesn't appear to be any. I tried uninstalling the existing drivers for all USB devices and then rebooting. After they all re-installed there was no change. I don't see any USB 3.0 devices listed under device manager. I updated my bios to the latest version, but there is no option for enabling/disabling USB 3.0 devices.
I read a post elsewhere that suggested getting a new chipset driver from intel, but I haven't found one that would be compatible with a 1st generation core i7 Q720 processor. So any other suggestions would be appreciated since I'm at a loss as to how to fix this.
