I have a music server notebook computer connected to a Mediasonic USB 3.0 hard drive enclosure with 8 bays.
Unfortunately, it is difficult if not impossible to get it to connect at USB 3.0 speeds. Every time I plug it into a blue USB 3.0 port on the notebook, I get a "warning" that I would get higher speeds if I connected to a USB 3.0 port.
I tried using a USB 3.0 hub plugged into a port and then plugged the enclosure to the hub which works to connect at USB 3; however, I get random disconnects then.
I also update the notebook BIOS to the latest version and reinstalled the ASMedia USB 3 drivers.
Notebook: Asus K55A running Windows 7

Enclosure: Mediasonic 8-bay enclosure

I checked the Mediasonic site for drivers and such but came up dry. The forum was also not helpful.
Thanks.
