Question
Answer
The drive is not run-
ning noticeably faster 
when connected via 
Hi-Speed USB 2.0.
Is the drive connected to a USB 1.1 
port on your computer, or to a USB 
1.1 hub?
If your drive is connected to a USB 1.1 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 1.1 transfer rates.
Is the drive connected to a Hi-
Speed USB 2.0 port on your 
computer?
Check to see that the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 drivers for both your host 
bus adapter and device have been installed correctly. If in doubt, 
uninstall the drivers and re-install them.
Does your computer or operating 
system support Hi-Speed USB 2.0?
See section
 1.2, Minimum System Requirements
.
