Switch USB Speed

I am seeing USB 2.0 speeds (30-38 Mbs) from the USB 3.0 port on my Switch 12. The same drives on a 3.0 Desktop run about 100 Mb/s (two different drives, different cables). Contacted Acer and went through the full reload process. No change. Wanted to check with others before sending it in.

 

Are people here with Switchs seeing simar or much better speeds ? (Any Switch, there do not seem to be many Switch 12s out there.)

 

I use Crystal Disk Mark to measure. 

 

Am also posting under Tablets since not sure which a Switch is (to me the exposed display makes it a tab).

 

Thank you,

    This is what I am seeing, is anyone getting real 3.0 speed (been through uninstall/reinstall and a full reload of Windows. Still at 2.0 speed with minimum possible connection. Same flash on desktop is recording 107 MB/s read.

    Hey padgett,

     

    We're ordering a micro USB 3.0 (the one with the notch) with a USB 3 male to female dongle so we can test.

     

    Is there any chance the middle piece is not a 5 pin USB 3.0 device in the picture you provided? Maybe that's the bottleneck? I would assume the connection to the desktop is just a standard USB 3.0 port.

     

    I'll follow up soon.
