To my annoyance, the USB3 drive won't connect as a USB3 device. It connects okay on one of the USB2 ports, although the system warns me that it will work better on a USB3 port, so it can see that it's supposed to be USB3. But when I connect the drive to the USB3 port, it merely sits and clicks without actually spinning up and recognizing the drive. I don't know if this means the drive is defective or that my USB3 ports don't have enough power to run the drive. I'll try the former and exchange the drive for another one before I head home. I hope it's the drive and not my computer.
