The hardware only runs at whatever speed it runs at. A USB2 device plugged into a USB3 port runs at USB2 speeds. A USB1 and a USB2 device plugged into the same USB port makes both runs at USB1 speeds There's no magic software to change that. But if you plug a USB3 drive into a USB3 port controlled by an OHCI driver, it will run at USB2 speeds. Switching to XHCI is the only thing you could do to improve speeds > > Is it safe to disable this and will this kill the messages: USB verbose > debug messages Well I have no idea.

Then and only then can you decide if they are ignorable or not -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
