    WD Elements 1TB External not working in USB 3.0


    I have WD Elements 1TB external drive, it has a USB 3.0 Supported cable.
    Whenever I plug it in my USB 2.0 port, it works fine but in USB 3.0 port, constant white led is there and doesn't blink. The device manager shows it as not connected and doesn't appear in Disk Management either.
    I have Gigabyte B450M-DS3H motherboard and it's brand new.
    Please help me solve this problem, USB 2 speeds are pathetic *Sad

    :)

    WD MyPassport 1TB only works through USB 2 ports, USB 3 not recognised


    The USB 3 ports are actually wired with leads for USB 3 and leads for USB 2. Since you narrowed it down to the WD device, maybe there is problem with the USB 3 leads on that port. Take a good look at the pins on the WD drive.
    Pins 1-4 are USB 2 and pins 5-9 are USB 3.
