Testing my new Sandisk Extreme USB 3.0 ( a USB keystick : http://www.sandisk.co.uk/products/usb/drives/extreme/)
I’ve run a few tests with crystal disk mark.
This is the first test I did while I had the official Gigabyte USB 3.0 drivers installed.
Then I installed https://downloadcenter.intel.com/downloa…-Chipset-Family
and tested again (Driver for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_chipsets#LGA_1150 and up)
For comparison this is my old USB 2.0 Pico drive on a USB 3.0 port.
I’d be interested in the results of other people’s USB keys. I bought this USB so I could have a fast install media to install windows. I use nLite and this new driver integrated into the boot.wim should make the install even faster than it was this time (about 20min vs well over an hour for old usb)
Also if you test enable (smart enable) XHCI in bios.
@ megatron:
Thanks for your USB3.0 benchmark comparison report.
Please add the OS you are running.
This is not easy to understand. The word "is" may be a typo.
I’m using Windows 7 SP1 & that was a typo.
