ASUS G74SX USB 3.0 Issues

[Retired]

I've been having problems with my Rocketfish USB 3.0 2.5' enclosure. When plugged into the USB 3 port of the G74SX after very little usage (especially during a HDTune test) it disconnects and reconnects rendering any transfer impossible (beyond a few hundred megabytes). Anyone experience this issue? It works fine in a USB 2.0 port and the USB 3 port works fine with a 3.0 flash drive. I tested the drive on my desktop which also has USB 3.0 and it worked just fine. I'm guessing the port isn't supplying sufficient power for the drive which is strange. I also tried plugging the 2nd USB connector into the USB 2.0 port to give it some extra juice but it changed nothing. The drive I am using is one of the 750GB 7200RPM drives from the G74 (I replaced one of the internals with an M4 SSD). Thanks so much for your help.

I'm using Windows 7 x64 with stock Fresco 3.0 drivers which are 3.0.89.14104. Are they too bad? I'll try with "Toshiba USB 3.0 Stor.e Basics 1TB" drive with no hope. Does it worth to update to newer such as 3.4.6.0?

BTW, my machine is G53JW.

Thanks!

I have Seagate 1TB drive in a chinese no-name brand enclosure. My speeds are 100-120MB/s when copying large 3GB file to my laptop and 80-100MB/s when copying to the drive....
My fresco drivers are 3.5.93.0, running on Win7.
Only issue I have sometimes is that it takes a long time to recognize other USB 3 drives. I did have the ASUS drivers and patch installed after my last Windows re-install....

just sharing my experience with you..
