Using USB 3.0 to speed up transfer between USB 2.0 devices?

I’ve noticed that transfers between USB 2.0 drives are usually very slow. From what I understand, this is because all USB 2.0 devices connected to the same USB 2.0-host share the same 480Mb/s of bandwidth.

Is it possible to speed this up by using USB 3.0, ie connecting both drives to a USB 3.0 controller (like a USB 3.0 ExpressCard…

What USB 3.0 functionality does Intel’s iusb3mon monitor?

Its apparent goal is to “monitor” some USB 3.0 functions. My questions are therefore:

What USB 3.0 functions it monitors in particular?

What functionality will I lose if I elect to terminate this process?

My laptop has a yellow USB port. Is it USB 3.0?

Answer [by William Hilsum]: Are USB 3.0 ports yellow?

It can be whatever colour that your manufacturer wants it to be – I do not think there is a standard.

That being said, every product I have seen that supports USB 3 seems to have a blue socket, so there may be one!

If it is yellow, my guess is that it may be a way to…

How does one install Windows 7 using USB 3?

I want to install Windows 7 onto an SSD from a USB 3 drive, however it won’t let me boot using USB 3, however it does work using USB 2. I guess that’s because Windows PE doesn’t have the needed USB 3 drivers so my question is how can I fix that?

Edit: Sorry for being slightly unclear. The installer boots but after choosing disk drive it tells me that…

Verifying USB connection speed (USB 3 or USB 2?)

I’ve purchased several new USB 3 capable drives to use with my new (USB 3 capable) laptop. They connect ok but I suspect they’re silently falling back to USB 2. The sustained transfer rates I’m seeing are around 30 Mb/s for both reads and writes, well within the practical limits of USB 2. One of the drives in particular is rated for transfers well…
