oh you're right, since I found 0 bad sectors it doesn't make sense to do tht low level format probably just format it in ExFAT / quick right?
I need to retract my comments. I have always had slow usb3 speed in windows 8 and it never bothered me that much since I copy little to usb and hotswap my backup drives. This post spurred me to purchase something that has been verified to work on windows 8, a scandisk usb 3 extreme and here is the results. 2 gig files is smoken. Appears a lot of products slap usb 3 on their devices and they are just plain crap. Well this one looks like one to put a windows install on and see what happens. Regards
I want the new version of TressFX on other parts of her body =] Since I know, Intel has the best usb3 speed.
