Feel like i have been lied to. The hardware doesnt do what its labelled to do…
I get that feeling too. It’s at best disingenuous to claim USB3.0 compliance when you you can only achieve sustained rates of ~3MB/s over the interface*, compared with the 400MB/s the USB spec suggests should be achievable; maybe the burst data rate is the 5Gb/s of USB3, but, if so, there’s one heck of a lot of bus idling.
