QUOTE(shinjite @ Jun 7 2010, 04:40 PM) I would recommend you to invest on a better PSU in any case possible  QUOTE(SSJBen @ Jun 7 2010, 05:08 PM) Get a reasonable PSU. i see.Vantec ION2+ 460w @ RM150 is a rather good buy and its components is at a rather decent quality as well. RM50 PSU doesn't meant can't support... but if anything goes wrong and it decides to pull your system down to hell with it, then its game over. actually i got one cpu,plan to put in 2 2tb hdd..but im worried my chaplang psu cannot supply. aik.. well,i think have to spend big buck liao...plan to upgrade next month..crazy.. |

QUOTE(mitodna @ Jun 12 2010, 12:32 AM) What happened? External HDD should be doing 30MB/s. QUOTE(lok3i @ Jun 12 2010, 12:33 AM) Maybe your mobo only support USB 1.1 QUOTE(everling @ Jun 12 2010, 12:39 AM) (80GB + 20GB) / (20 hours * 3600 seconds) = 1.38 MB/s i am not sure too.how to check it is usb 1.0 or usb 2.0.Maybe it's USB 1.0? Other possibilities are very heavy file fragmentation and lots of tiny little files (they incur a huge performance cost). i remember when i plug in my WD external hdd and portable hdd, it prompt out the ysb 2.0 speed on the right side menu(clock side). beside that,my pc got alot of virus,and bloodly hell lag for almost 1year+.That's why i bought WD external hdd for backup,because i want to format my pc. i using acer cpu,aspire sa85 model. |

QUOTE(lok3i @ Jun 12 2010, 03:19 PM) It's clearly not USB 2.0 my friend.. The key word is ENHANCED. If you have an ENHANCED USB Host Controller then you have High Speed USB (USB 2.0)i got this enhanced USB Host Controller,refer to my picture below. If your Device Manager shows an ENHANCED USB Host Controller, the system has High Speed USB (USB 2.0) capability. Types of High Speed USB (USB 2.0) Host Controllers * Intel Enhanced * SiS Enhanced * VIA Enhanced * ALi Enhanced * Standard Enhanced * NEC Enhanced The system shown has onboard Intel High Speed USB (USB 2.0) with an NEC High Speed USB (USB 2.0) PCI card installed. The key word is ENHANCED. If you have an ENHANCED USB Host Controller then you have High Speed USB (USB 2.0) All other types are USB v.1.1 The difference between v.1.0 and v.1.1 is explained here.
