I have about the same performance on my WD passport and my hand-built PC. It's nowhere near advertised speed (even WITH overhead), but I can't complain compared to USB2, so I have never had any reason to tweak. USB has never been the most stable in terms of transfer rate anyway. Sorry, this is not so much helpful as it is confirming your experience.<div>

Ubuntu 10.10<br>
M4A88T-V EVO/USB3<br>
Vantec USB3 case with WD 2TB green<br>
I dont know what the speed of the WD Green is, but it is definitely not the fastest.<br>
2 USB3 ports and use 1 USB3 port.<br>
<br>
With USB2 it sustains 30MB/sec.<br>
With USB3 the speed varies from 70MB to 105MB/sec (averaging 90MB/sec)<br>
<br>
Any idea why it could vary from 70 to 105 ?<br><font color="#888888">
