Hi, I would like to ask the same question folks have asked before but, my Manufacturer HP incorrectly lists the specs so I cannot go to their website and just look it up. As you can see the description below directly contradicts itself. It says 3.1 Gen 2 but 5GB/s. Lifted directly from the...

Hi All, So I have an HP Elitebook 8460p with the 642754-001 motherboard.

Hi, When I plugged the data cable into any USB3 port my FinePix S5500 is starting to turn off and on continuously. Sometimes, when idle, it stops switching power off-on for seconds but when I try to copy, scan, whatever drive task it just turns off then at the same time it's turning back on...

I have a USB 2.0 external HDD and it won't work in USB 3.0. I have all the drivers, and the HDD works just fine when plugged in to USB 2.0. So that lie about being backwards compatible is a lie. Don't bother saying it isn't a lie because I have physical proof that it is a lie. Only helpful...

Hello, if a Windows laptop has 1 or 2 USB 3.1 Gen 1 port, what does that mean? Is USB 3.1 Gen 1 the kind of port that is compatible with most usb devices (e.g. memory thumb stick, storage, etc) that we have been using for many years before laptops with dongle era started taking place?
