I've got an internal sata drive plugged into an external (powered) enclosure, which is then connected via USB to a MSI Wind nettop.

The specs for the box say it's USB2, so I'll to take their word for it :)

The problem is that all my usb ports are being loaded with uhci, not ehci.

usb0: <UHCI (generic) USB controller> on uhci0
usb0: USB revision 1.0


Any idea how I can force these to be detected as USB2?

Have you loaded the da(4) (http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=da&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+7.1-RELEASE&format=html) module?

As it turns out, USB2 isn't enabled by default on this particular motherboard. Everything is fine now, aside from my pride :)

So is this USB drive now working well with USB2.0, with decent transfer rates? I'm trying to do the same thing...
