Hi all, I=92ve got a Zotac Zbox SD-ID12 (Intel Atop D525). According to the = vendor specs it=92s got 6 USB 2.0 ports. It=92s spend the last few years = sitting on a shelf running FreeBSD and getting periodic updates/upgrades = and little else. Currently at FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE-p10. Recently I decided to make use of some old USB2 hard drives I had lying = around and turn the box into a basic NAS for my home network (nothing = fancy just NFS). I got the NFS working without a hitch. I attached the first of the USB 2.0 drives and it seamed really slow. = Looking at /var/messages it indicates it=92s running at USB 1 speeds: da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus4 target 0 lun 0 da0: <WD My Passport 071A 2011> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-4 device=20 da0: Serial Number 575851314136305639323030 da0: 1.000MB/s transfers da0: 953842MB (1953468416 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 121597C) da0: quirks=3D0x2<NO_6_BYTE> Further digging into dmesg suggests to me that FreeBSD is somehow either = not finding or not using USB2 drivers. For the sake of keeping this message short, the full verbose dmesg can = be found here -> http://pastebin.com/sUxvCd0m ; it will expire in one = month (April 11, 2015). NOTES: I have tried a variety of USB2 devices (CD R/W, usb hard drive, thumb = drives). I have confirmed that all are detected and accessed as USB 2.0 = devices on Windows 7, Mac OSX. I have also confirmed that Linux = (Raspbian on a raspberry Pi) recognized and used the hard drive as a = USB2.0 device. I tried a few different cables just in case. Also, I have been using FreeBSD since the 1990s and used to be pretty = active at helping people on this list (a long time ago). The Lost Admin thelostadmin@gmail.com
