r500 - anyone using a USB3.0 Express card

[mk64]

Hi, just wanted to ask if anyone using a r500 is using a USB3.0 Expresscard which is working successfully. Though I added driver updates my Sharkoon is not working stable - each and every 2 minutes the drive disapears and I recieve errors trying to copy files, Driving me nuts. So, is there anybody out there with a working expresscard with USB3.0 ports? Which model is working? Regards, Matthias

You should the BIOS so as it properly recognize the new device

After updating the BIOS, uninstall and reinstall the USB 3.0 driver

No change, loosing connection in any case, also using option to not use any energy saving/power management. I can use the USB3.0 cable and harddisk when it's conncted to a normal USB2.0 port without any problem, so it's really an USB3.0 express card problem.
