I just built a new general use computer that I'll be doing a lot of transfers off it to flash drives. USB 3.0 is enabled on the mobo, the drivers are installed, and I bought new USB 3.0 cables and flash drives. I have the following questions:
1. What speeds should I be seeing? I have a video file that's around 1 GB that I've been using to measure speeds. On USB 1.0 around 9 MB. USB 2.0 about 20 MB. USB 3.0 24MB. Doesn't matter if I use a cable or plug directly into the SATA III outlet off the back of the mobo the speeds are the same. Are these speeds typical? I thought I'd see a big jump in speeds from USB 2.0 and 3.0.
2. I've measured transferring off my SATA III drive and my WD Green storage drive and the speeds are the same... is that normal?
