I'm getting this msg below when I plug my USB 3.0 storage drive into my USB 3.0 port.

"This USB Mass Storage Device can transfer information faster if you connect it to a Super-Speed USB 3.0 port."

The storage device is USB 3.0, the cable is correct and has SS on it and my USB 3.0 drivers are all up to date, so what gives? It happens on all USB 3.0 ports.

Yes. The only drive that works full speed is the orico card reader I installed in the bay. That connects direct to the motherboard and runs at full speed. The USB 3.0 on the top of the case run at 2.0 speed even though they are connected to the USB.30 header on the motherboard with the supplied SS cable and the rear USB 3.0 ports are on a different controller and don't even recognize my WD flash drive.
