That sounds awful. I've yet to use driverscape as well.

Every time it's showing the drive can run faster. IS EXPECTED as I think this is some USB 3.0 drive so it nags. If not it's the usual USB 1.0 speed on the ports. THE ONE THING I CONTINUE TO FIND IS THE FRONT PORTS DON"T WORK. Use motherboard/rear ports.

Part 2. I get my drivers from the machine's maker.
