Hey guys, I own a USB 3.0 card reader and card that downloads files at 90MB/sec on my PC with mechanical hard drives. On the P150EM with a SSD that benchmarks at ~240MB a second sequentially, I only get 52MB/sec with the exact same USB 3 reader and memory card. Both have Win7 x64 Pro OS.

Does anyone else have mediocre USB 3.0 performance like this? If its not just me, I believe we need a driver update by Intel. Asus has done a great job with their own custom USB over SCSI drivers so Intel should be able to pick up the slack.


EDIT: I tried using a 3rd party file copier and I'm getting 90+MB/sec now, which is the proper speed for this CF card. I guess Windows isn't handling things too well with the standard copy method and these Intel drivers, since my eSATAp port also has speed problems with Windows' copy method.

here are what my drivers look like for the stock Realtek card -

Thanks awakeN. I unfortunately already have those drivers. Internet was a little better tonight, but still slow. I will try a few more things. Couldn't download the DA Origins toolset, which installed so easily on my iMac (same network). Looks like I'll be buying a better card soon enough.

Hey guys, I've been on vacation for a little bit so I'm just getting home to work on my new laptop. (I had issues with my wireless connection-page 318 last post)

I opened up the drivers CD and noticed I have two wireless drivers (at least, as far as I can tell). They are the RTL8188CE and the RTL8723AE. Which one is the correct driver for the Intel Advanced N card?

I have a quick question as well! When you replace the ODD drive with an HDD or SSD, is there a lid/cover that covers the drive area or is the drive exposed?

*EDIT: Thanks for answer guys!

Thanks guys. I'm going to try and get the stock wireless card to work ok. I don't necessarily need lightning fast internet, but I can't tolerate it taking 20-30 seconds to load Google lol. If all else fails, I'll buy a better card from Newegg or eBay.

Why don't you ask them to send you a wifi card, and you will mail them the defective one back? That is what I would do.

Yes if you order a notebook with a HDD caddy instead of an ODD. It is a a plastic enclosure that the disk mounts into with a CDROM plastic face place on it for looks.

oh snap so if i buying an ssd later and move my HDD to the ODD, then I'll be missing that plastic enclosure?

well crap.

Most caddies will come with a generic looking DVD bezel. It isn't flush with the laptop though, unlike if you got it from the reseller. Still looks decent though :-)

I'll send you some pics if you need them. I have the flush DVD bezel and the generic one.

Neither, those are realtek drivers.

These are the Windows 7 64-bit drivers for ALL Intel wifi cards

Hello guys. I have the Sager np9150 with the 2gb ddr5 675m GPU. If I connect my laptop to a 45" HDTV using the 1.4 HDMI output, will the GPU be able to handle it? I wont dual screen it with the laptop but I will be making the 45" HDTV my main screen for the laptop. However, I am not sure if the GPU can handle it as it has only 2gb. I will be playing games for hours using the laptop and HDTV screen. Thanks in advance.
