hub?

If your drive is connected to a USB port or hub, this is normal. A 

Hi-Speed USB 2.0 device can only operate at Hi-Speed USB 2.0 

performance levels when it is connected directly to a Hi-Speed 

USB 2.0 port or hub. Otherwise, the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 device will 

operate at the slower USB transfer rates. For more information,
