You should have mentioned this before! One of those cables is for data and power, and the other cable is for power only (probably the thinner of the two). For your drive to work correctly you should first plug in the power-only cable to a 1.1 port and then plug in the data/power cable to the 2.0 port. If you mix things up and plug the data cable to a 1.1 port then of course the drive will operate only at 1.1 speed. > I tried with just 1 port connected to USB 2.0 port and haven't been able to > reproduce the issue back again yet. :-( > I also wasn't able to reproduce back the old issue with the pattern I > mentioned in the previous post (1 cable connected to 1.1 and the other > connected to 2.0 port) > > I'll keep testing and post to this thread if I find something useful. See if this doesn't clarify the matter.
