Has USB3.0 of X58A-UD3R (Rev. 1.0) any problem?

Have you tried "how to improve compatibility of USB3.0 devices?" in the FAQ section for the GA-X58A-UD3R
It seems to point to a firmware update tool

Well spotted T774. I hadn't noticed that before.

Thanks T774. I think the firmware has been included in the F6 BIOS. May be runn3R can confirm it. Anyway, I will give a try and see it will fix my problem.

Thanks Pierre, that might get some people out of the crap!

Received a replacement PCB from Hotway and now the external USB3.0 HDD enclosure works fine so far. Hopefully it will give no problem in future.

The first figure below shows the CrystalDiskMark (CDM) of the USB3.0 HDD enclosure attached to USB3.0 port. The second figure shows the CDM of the same HDD enclosure but this time it's connected to USB2.0 port.

Hi onemilimeter. That's certainly an improvement on the throughput figures! Roughly three times faster. Glad to see that you finally managed to get it working.

Hi Dark Mantis l am back with same usb 3 problem
I have same problem l just bought Nexstar twin dock usb 3 dock and when l connect to usb 3 it goes and shows it connected then it unconnects then connects 3 times under devices in windows u see the drives go in and out then out completely and l cannot access drives but if l put it to usb 2 ports works fine, X58A - UD3R ff brand new dock and band new load windows 7 64 still same problem.
also this is a new motherboard as well as l had another problem with RAM frequency which is fixed now with this new board but now l hv found this problem that alot here are having all drivers latest as its new load up.

For all l tried this and it made a change pull cable half to 3/4s out of the back of dock u will have to work out how far u need to pull it out by it then starts working but once u push it all the way in then it drops out so it could be cable for all, but then again pulling it out like this might make it connect up as usb 2 instead of 3.

Heads up l took the dock back explaining about cable problem, they gave me 2m usb 3 cable from a diff company which is 1m longer, hooked it up pushed cable all the way in and bang worked straight away and has not dropped out, so it seems the cable that comes with NexStar docks are faulty, so l suggest to all if u hv these docks also get a usb 3 cable made by someone else and try it, l would say everyone's prob with drop outs would be the cable that come in the docks box.
