FIrst of all , here's my rig :
Asus M5A97 R2.0
8 GB Corsair Vengeance ( 1600 MHz)
AMD Fx 6300
Zotac Nvidia GTX 770 AMP Edition
Corsair VS650W PSU
Windows 10 ( Not Activated though )
So , I have a WD My Passport 1 TB HDD that supports USB 3.0 SS ( has a blue male USB connector which should be enough to say that it does support USB 3.0 ) . It works just fine when I plug it into my other ( USB 2.0 ) ports but if I plug it into my USB 3.0 SS port , the HDD's light does glow up but nothing happens/shows on the screen , absolutely nothing at all , as if the port is still empty . I'm pretty sure the port isn't fried or physically damaged because my other USB 2.0 devices work fine on this very port that has a , "USB 3.0 UASP " title written right next to it . Also , just for whatever reason, my rig is almost 3 years old and I don't remember ever using the USB 3.0 port ( don't know why I said that but whatever ) , I never had to transfer any big files so I guess the need of USB 3.0 never really bothered me , I think I'd be wasting my money if I don't utilize the product . So , in a nutshell , I plug a USB 2.0 flash drive into my USB 3.0 UASP port , it shows up on my screen , works good and all , but nothing happens when plugging my WD MyPassport HDD . I think it's a driver issue & yes I have also read a good amount of threads very similar to this one but nothing really helped . All the drivers I could find , I have installed . Thanks !!
