USB Speed

First off, I am disappointed that the new iPod I have been waiting for (video and photo and music) no longer supports FIREWIRE. I use a lot of firewire disks, audio interface, and have a nice hub... but if I decide to obtain a new iPod I now have to examine my USB speed.
When you use the profiler tool and look at the USB tree on my 1.25GHz G4 iMac, you see three separate USB devices - two are 12 MBs and one iw 480 MBs - The keyboard and printer are on the slower ports, and I have a SanDisk reader apparently on the faster port.
Is that the case that not all of the USB connections are high-speed USB? Should I be expecting that at least one USB connection on this computer will be a high speed USB?
Thanks

All three of the USB ports on your computer are USB 2.0; the keyboard as well as any USB devices plugged in to the keyboard will operate at USB 1.1 speed. The printer may also operate at USB 1.1 speeds.

USB speeds on late 2012 model Macbook Pro

I recently bought a new Macbook Pro (without retina display) to replace the 15" MBP I bought in 2006. The USB speeds are extremely slow. For example, I transferred a 650 MB file from the new MBP to a thumb drive. It took more than 45 minutes. When I then transferred to my 2006 MBP it took less than 4 minutes. Both are running Lion. What gives? Is there a configuration issue or is there a problem with my USB ports in my machine?

Wrong USB Speed

Hi there,
I have E-MU 0202 and when I click on the [Control Panel] icon on the bottom right the "configuration center" appears. I can select the device, sample rate but that's not the point. It is written there "USB Speed : 1.1" while it should be 2.0, right? What should I do to change it?
Now I have Windows 7 but I don't remember how it was working on Vista or XP. Simply I didn't noticed that before, I think.
Thanks for some answer!

Since you have switched from XP/Vista to W7, could it be possible that you need to install some "drivers" to get USB 2.0 mode available (drivers are bundled with motherboard or you can check from the support site for your motherboard)?
Also, is there an option for USB 2.0 support in system BIOS.

USB speed help!

I have a macbook pro from late 2009. It has a 1.1 usb speed but I need a 2.0. Is there anyway to install an upgrade or get a plug-in host to get the 2.0 speed from my usb drive?

A Macbook Pro from 2009 should have full USB 2 support. USB 2 has been around since the early 2000s. I would think Apple is not that far behind the curve. And cetainly not with Lion 10.7.3 installed.
Something else is wrong. Like you have a USB 1.1 hub connected and your external is going through that.
The port you are using is bad.
The cable you are using is bad or very inferior and can not do USB 2.

HomeHub 3 - USB speeds painfully slow - known issu...

Hello I have a BT HomeHub 3 - FW version 12 - on Infinity Option 2.
I have recently bought a WD 2TB external drive and connected it to the USB port on the homehub in the hopes to have all my media on it to share across the network.
It attached fine, was detected fine, and I've successfully mapped it as a network drive on my PC without a problem.
The drive is formatted in NTFS, and my PC is connected to the homehub via the gigabit port.
The read and write speeds though are painfully slow - pretty much solid at 2.0MB/s. Is this just "how it is" or is there a solution, because as it stands I can't see the point in there even being a USB port! I could download another version of the file 4 times faster from the internet than I could copy it locally to the HDD!!
I can't find any information about this or indeed see many complaints, so I'm wondering if this is just mine?
Any feedback would be appreciated - happy to receive technical answers.
Thanks for any help!

Keith, I have to say that your answer gives no technical insight of the situation,
I highly doubt that this device does not have the processing power to do a transfer of more than 2-3 Mb/Sec,
Don't forget there's even a gigabit ethernet port, and you can easily achieve very high speeds using lan or even the internet connection - forget that this is due to the hub being slow - no chance.
Second point you mention, SMB protocol is not that efficient, that's not the reason for slow speeds again. I can confirm I've got an SMB server setup on a Linux 5 yeard old netbook in the Lan and it's still performing faster than 2 Mb / Sec. SMB is again NOT the problem.
It's most likely a firmware issue where the USB port is either throttled down intentionally or not utilized as a proper USB 2.0 port - I think BT or whoever makes this box ought to give the community an explanation on the matter. When claiming that the usb port can be used to connect storage media they should also mention that the maximum speed is not more than 3 Mb/Sec - otherwise the statement is misleading as most people know that usb storage media perform a lot faster when connected to computers.
It's like someone telling you, that his car drives like ferrari, but not telling you that it cannot do more than 20 mph.

WRT610 and USB Speed

So I have a new 610n and just hooked up an NTFS format 500GB disk to the USB port.
When transferring files from my laptop to the 610n USB drive (via a gigabit Ethernet link) I am only seeing something around 3-4MB/s transfer rates. This seems incredibly slow!
If I connect the drive directly to the laptop's USB port I get around 30-40MB/s speeds (i.e. I max out the USB 2 bandwidth). Also, If I connect the USB drive to another computer on the network (my desktop PC has a 100mbs Ethernet connection to the 610n) I get around 11MB/s i.e I max out the Ethernet link.
My guess is that this isn't a networking problem but rather a 610n USB driver problem.
Does this sound right or have I done something incredibly stupid.
Thanks, Pete

In this case you should try to Upgrade your router's firmware and then re-configure it...
Download Firmware 7.27 MB...
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
NOTE : You should disconnect your Hard Drive while upgrading and resetting the router...

T42 USB Speed

Hi,
I have recently reinstalled Win XP on my old T42 and have now found that both the USB ports only work at low speed. I used to have the problem with one being high speed (i.e. USB 2) and the other low ( i.e. USB 1) but now they are both slow. I have installed all available Windows updates as well as all those found using Lenovo's System Update but to no avail. The most puzzling thing is that for a while I was getting one of the posts to work at high speed then it just dropped down for no apparent reason and has not come back.
The Device manager lists 4 USB controllers, 1 is ‘Intel® 82801DB/DBM USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller – 24CD’ while the other 3 are ‘Intel® 82801DB/DBM USB Universal Host Controller – 24C’ then the numbers 2, 4 and 7 respectively. The two external USB posts appear to be connected to the number 4 controller as disabling it renders them inert, and so to did changing the driver to the Enhanced one. Finally, disabling the Enhanced controller does nothing to the external USB devices so it is obviously not connected to them.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to get my port working at the correct speed again?
Thanks

Fire Wire 400 vs 800 vs USB speed

A Fire Wire 800 port has a faster rate of transfer than both the Fire Wire 400 and a USB 2.0. Is a Fire Wire 400 port faster than a USB port and if so is it considerably faster than the USB.

Hi mick1964;
USB 2.0 is the slowest. I know it has a quoted rate that is greater then FW400 but that it burst rate which it is not capable of sustaining.
Generally FW400 is about 40% quicker then USB 2.0 for sustain data transfers.
FW800 is faster then FW400.

Poor USB Speed Issues

Connecting anything to my machine via USB has become painfully slow. When connecting an iPod to the USB port on the front of the machine, a window will sometimes popup saying "You are connecting to a USB 1.1 port - connect to a 2.0 port to ....etc etc"
It IS a USB 2.0 port - Do the internal USB controllers go bad after a while? My machine has a lot of time on it and cannot think of anything else that could be the cause.
And if so, what do I replace?

Hi. The Apple Official on USB problems is here
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303598
Although not mentioned there, sometimes using the FireWire reset procedure (bottom of the page here) helps USB
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88338
USB on G5s has always been a bit suspect where USB power is concerned. Does it work ok plugged into the rear ports? A powered USB hub, such as
http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=159070
sometimes helps.
The USB is on the main logic board (as are most things), so a PCI USB card would be required if it is duff.
Good Luck.

IMac USB Speed

Can someone tell me what version of USB is on an iMac 27" Mid 2011? The system report doesn't use terms I'm familiar with, e.g., USB 2.0 or USB 3.0.
Thank you

USB 2.0 - 480 Mb/s.

Equium and other laptops in general and Usb 2 speed problems with stuff

Hi
I use a TOP2049 programmer
I cant use it to program some types of chips using the laptop.
Main machine can reduce speed of usb to 12mbps but laptop cant reduce this in the bios
Is there a way to do this?
Does someone know?
If so tell us .. tia simeonW

Hi
I have checked my both Toshiba notebooks for this option but it seems that its not possible to change the USB speed.
I think this isnt an important option because normally its not necessary to change the USB speed. So its not available on notebooks.
I think you must program on your PC. Normally on PCs you have more options in BIOS.

No usb 3.0 speeds

So all four of my usb 3.0 ports will NOT work at 3.0 speed. I have tried several thumb drives, external hd cases. I have a Usb 3.0 pcie card that works perfectly. So what the hell? They have really never worked 100%. Bios ver 13.4 All drivers up to date. Windows 8
