IDE to USB 2.0 : "Device Can Perform Faster"

[bajaj151]

I bought external 3.5' IDE to USB 2.0 case (local one) at the price 550/-

- Connected 80GB IDE. (with or without jumper)

- When I connect USB cable to motherboard USB port (rear or front)......Getting message "Device can Perform Faster........."

- Checked the USB in device manager (it's enhanced)



Transfer speed is also very low : 1-2 MB/sec


Is there any problem with case or HDD ??

Reason: you are using it with usb1.1 port.

I tried with ALL PORTS (Rear as well as front)...but same message.

just cause the case says USB 2.0 doesn't mean it have 2.0 connector & port. do you have spare cable for the casing? try it.

USB Cable or IDE ?

I just checked the HDD using HDD Tune....
Health Status : Warning


Spin Up time : Failed
Reallocated Sector Count : Warning
Spin Retry Count : Warning
Reallocated Even Count : Warning
Ultra DMA CRC Error Count : Warning



Is HDD gone ??

[Sam]

almost. try another software, just to be sure.

I tried other 40Gb IDE
Again, I am getting the same speed with other HDD (1MB/sec or less)

Also, with new cable...Same speed

Is the case faulty or its not 2.0 ??


(How much speed one should get using 2.0 case ? )

Unplug all usb devices
