Gettin super Low speeds at USB 3.0 (27 MBps max)!!

[gam0reily]

Hello,

Sorry if it isn't the right forum.

But I am having trouble transferring my files via USB 3.0 from my External drive, a seagate GoFlex 500GB to my laptop, an HP Pavilion g6-2005AX.

I am new to USB 3.0, since I got this lappy today itself. So, I did a normal copy-paste to my laptop's hard disk, and the speeds were dismal.

I am averaging out at 22 MBps, with the max going upto 27MBps only!!

please help! What is that have I missed? ANy driver? I am at a dead end ryt now.

Thx in advance
