SanDisk Ultra USB 3.0; I have multiple sticks of this type and have never had any problems with the other ones

The first thing I did to format it back to device defaults (not quick format). This didn't change anything

The USB 3 ports definitely work, I've tried them out with other things

It's not the end of the world if this doesn't work "properly", but I'm curious what it could be caused by

Only thing I can think of is damaged hardware or firmware on the flash drive. That's weird, though.

Like I said, other USB 3.0 sticks (even those of the same model) work fine

Imo, it's not a BIOS issue, but I'm willing to accept I could be wrong here

Was that the case for all peripherals you plugged in, or just a single one?

I'm still thinking the drive is damaged. I'd try it in a USB3 port on a different computer. If you still only get USB2 speeds, that'll confirm it.

If the stick is usb3, but only works on usb2 ports, it's a hardware problem. At least one of the "extra" pins is faulty.
