No matter what USB port or computer I plug in my 1TB hard drive into, a window pops up and tells me it will run faster on a USB 2 port. All I have are USB 2 ports! My other drives read as 2.0, the case states it is 2.0. Over time I have added 500Gb of music and now that I have started transferring to my new computer it will take 2 days and I won't be able to use it til it's done.
