usb warning "this device could perform faster" showing up... sometimes.

[Guest Nicolas Richard]

Hello,

 

I hope someone can help me about the following problem : when I connect

my USB memory stick (Kingston Datatraveler, model DTI/1Gb), I get most

of the time the warning "this device could perform faster" and the speed

is not good, as being warned. But if I remove the stick, then put it

back a few times, the warning will eventually not come back. I cannot

figure out how and why the problem disappears, but when the message

doesn't show up anymore the speed gets better.

 

Some details:

- this happens on two computers, both running Win XP (this one is Win XP

home edition SP2, the other computer I think runs Win XP profesionnal

edition but I'm unsure).

- I did not try on another machine, and didn't try another stick on

these computers.

- sometimes I do nothing but disconnect/reconnect the stick, and the

warning disappears.

- if I reboot or hibernate the computer, the warning comes back when I

reconnect my stick ; and I have to disconnect/reconnect again for some

time before the warning goes away.

 

I appreciate any help and suggestion !

Hi,

 

This can be handled via the Device Manager. Right click My

Computer/Properties/Hardware/Device Manager.

Double click USB Host Controller/Advanced - Don't tell me about USB

errors......

Thanks for your answer. I guess this only suppresses the error message,

but the speed will still be slow until the not-shown-message

"disappears". I would prefer getting the right speed as soon as I boot,

instead of having to plug/unplug until the system recognizes that my

stick and my USB port _can_ work faster.

I just had "Another" SanDisk Micro Cruzer go bad on me. The issue

this time was that it was inserted and accidently struck by a chair. For

a couple of weeks whenever you inserted it sometime it would flag as

being capable of running faster or identified as an unknown device. I

would suspect your device is probably in the process of failing as well.

The only benefit for me is that every time I replace it, I get to purchase

a larger size. The latest Cruzer is an 8-Gigabyte model for $47.

Could be. I hope not though, because once it is running at the right

speed, it does not go down again (until next reboot), even if I

unplug/replug it.

More data lost when it crashes again ;)

Thanks for the advice anyway. I'll probbably look for a new memory stick

too.

Heh! I've heard of "bit-rot," but never "bit-scramble!"
