Helpfull if you provide MB, or laptop make model.
Some quicky questions:
(1) Did you go into Bios and make sure that USB3 support was enabled (some bios also include a "speed" selection)?
(2) Have you updated/verified that you are using the latest driver for the USB 3 chipset? (Intel does not support USB3 so this is a 3rd party controller. Upcoming Intel Ivybridge will support USB3)
(3) dumb question but need to ask, Is the enclosure USB 3 ?
(4) Did you try in a USB 2 port and if so what was the transfer rate compared to when plugged into USB 3?

Side comment, If you want the fastest transfer, then use esata for a HDD.

Is the device you're using really a hard drive or is it a flash memory drive? Most flash drives have pretty slow transfer rates (although normally the USB 3.0-capable ones are better).

The reason I ask is that I often hear people refer to flash drives as "USB hard drives", so I thought it was something that might need clarification.

My HDD (both inbuilt sata and external WD) starts transferring at 120Gbps and suddenly it reduces to under 30 for the rest of the transfer. How can I make it keep transferring at 130Gbps. Oh and I have Win8.
