I've been trying for a week to get the backup drive that I assembled to work on my USB 3.0 ports, but still am having troubles. It's not the ports, other accessories operates perfectly fine on them (external cooler, USB flash drives, my other backup drive connected with a BYTECC USB 3.0 to eSATA adapter).
This assembled drive consists of a WD Caviar Blue 320GB, 7200 rpm, HDD (the stock HDD that came with my desktop) installed within a Vantec NexStar CX SuperSpeed enclosure. The thing is, it's recognized when plugged into the USB 2.0 port on the notebook, and works perfectly fine.
But when I plug it into the USB 3.0 port, there's a constant sound of trying to connect/install, and in the Device Manager, it constantly shows & disappears during this time.
I've used Bing & Google in search of answers for the issue, and it appears that plenty of users has the same problem. But other than assigning a letter to it, and formatting it, which I tried both (the most popular answer to the issue), I cant get it to work.
Like I've stated, everything else works perfectly fine on these ports. I have no reason to believe it's the ports or it's drivers. To double check that, I reinstalled the driver for the ports using the driver disc that MSI included with the notebook.
Does anyone have a workaround?
