USB3 Device only at spd=HIGH (480Mbps)

[tsia]

Hi,

I have a Dell PowerEdge T20 running FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE.
The Board has a USB3 Controller which usbconfig(8) shows as follows:

ugen0.1: <XHCI root HUB 0x8086> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=SUPER (5.0Gbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)

When I plug in a USB3 Harddrive, it only shows up as:

ugen0.2: <ATAPI-6 Bridge Controller Prolific Technology Inc.> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (100mA)

and dmesg(8) says:

I also tried a different USB3 that my Mac detects as a USB3 Drive.

Any ideas, what I could do here?

I suggest you upgrade to 10.1 so you have later USB code in the kernel. Then review these threads: USB3 Disk is only recognized as usb 2 device and Problem with USB3 - the solution in at least one of these cases was to add a PCIe USB3 controller that actually worked with FreeBSD.

Exactly what USB3 controller do you have? You can find it in /var/log/dmesg.today

Agreed. I'd also suggest updating to 10-STABLE if possible, since there have been a number of xhci commits to 10-STABLE since 10.1-RELEASE.

i I updated to 10.1-RELEASE-p4 via freebsd-update(8). I was just curious that the USB Hub itself connects with 5Gbps so iI thought the USB Drives should as well.

dmesg(8) says, the Controller is a

xhci0: <Intel Lynx Point USB 3.0 controller> mem 0xf7d20000-0xf7d2ffff irq 16 at device 20.0 on pci0

i updated to 10.1-RELEASE-p4 via freebsd-update. I was just curious that the USB Hub itself connects with 5Gbps so i thought the USB Drives should as well.

The -pN releases only contain security updates. To get all of the latest fixes, you would need to run -STABLE (normally via updating the source and building your own kernel).
