Has any got this to show up as USB 3 in Windows 7? Mine shows up as USB 2. Did we get ripped off?

My new lap top recognizes it as USB 3 but my older PC does not. Their customer service was very helpful but in the end I returned it as I wanted it for my PC and it did not work as 3.0 with that computer.

Are you getting any USB 3.0 devices recognized as 3.0? If not, then you may need to ensure you have the correct USB drivers installed.

please, anyone out there? i need to know if it works with windows 7 (feedback on many of the usb hubs report many problems with windows 7)

I'm making an assumption that you are using Window XP. Vista, Win7, or Win8. If that is the case the USB should be formatted for NTFS. not FAT32.

Sorry, I only have windows 7. I'd be shocked if it was not, however. Windows automatically provides drivers for these kinds of devices.

I must say its false marketing from Asus saying it has USB 3.0 on some models when its impossible to buy it, at least no sellers on the net specify it, what I have found.. (perhaps only one model is sold in one copy and is locked in the Asus test lab in China, yeah right so much fuss for that extra *** in the finetext of the specs) Why not be more clear on what models are with USB3.0 why not name it 1015PED-U3 instead?

Hello Mr. Tissier, you said that you didn't have any problems with Windows 7 as long as I get an A-B Y cable with 2 USB plugs. I order one from Cables to Go and plan to use it with my Dell Inspiron Netbook. Should I be okay with that? I would appreciate your response. Thank you.

I had no problem, mine was downloaded to windows seven and it works fine. Did you try downloading it manually, I am not that computer savvy, so I am afraid I am not much help, sorry

Win 7 sees it as a multi-card reader, not a usb hub, and assigns it a drive letter (as in just one drive). NK's suggestion is what I would do.

I bought one and I use it. Windows 7 Backup doesn't work with it, so I use a 3rd party backup. It has a USB 3 interface, but I have only USB 2. The disk works fine.

I used a 2TB Seagate drive, and had no trouble recognizing it in Win 7. Both USB and E-SATA worked ok for me. Have you tried both interfaces? Might want to try connecting it to another system as well.

Mine has all four with the blue plastic that usually indicates usb3.0. A big boon that's not advertised is that there is a second drive bay, so you can add another hard drive or even a ssd. I have added an extra drive but it took quite a few minutes to recognize it. I haven't tried it but there seems to be empty ram bays as a well.

Just USB 2.0. It also requires a client to be installed and established every time you boot up your computer. As far as I know, it doesn't has windows 8 support yet.

I have already opened the package, can it be returned or no? That really sucks that it can't work for Windows 7, and ridiculous.. is there any way at all that we can get it to work? Thanks.

In my system with windows 8.1 I found that yes it was recognized sometimes, most not until I installed the drivers; then the usb 3 came alive. if you have not found the right ones email me through my seller account here.
