I have several External HD Enclosures and Computers.
Normally, they all work great.
Occasionally, one of the Externals gets the notion that its connected to a low speed USB port, and I get a notice from my computer that it will perform faster if I connect it to a high speed port - which they all are, and my computer should know this.
Once this happens, the external, or computer(s), gets stuck in this error mode, regardless of the port used and will perform at the low speed.
Sometimes, this problem will go away after changing HDs and Computer used.
I havent found the right combination of events yet.
I have found two workarounds to avoid this error notice and obtain high speed transfer.
1: Leaving the external turned on - Reboot.
2: Leaving the external turned on, do a safe disconnect, unplug it, wait, then plug it back in hot
Is there a way to disable this error notice or checking ?
Is there some bad info getting placed in the External or my Computer(s) and a way to reset ??
Since this seems to have something to with the external being powered up while connected,
Is there a way to slow down this error checking
Any other ideas will be appreciated?
