Anyone else experiencing very slow performance from external USB 3 storage? I know the release notes specify issues with USB 2 but say nothing about this.

I have a SSD in an external USB 3 enclosure that I get 400 MB/s on my Macbook Pro but now on my nMP
I am lucky to get 40 MB/s.

Anyone else seeing this?

I get ~140MB write 360MB read (couple years old SSD)

Checked another external SSD drive connected to a Trust USB 3.0 Hub and got ~36MB read/write. Check System Information > USB and make sure it's listed as USB 3.0 device.

No problems here with USB3 dual-bay chassis (Oyen Digital RAID v2), 350MB+ on both read/write.
