Troubleshooting • Re: USB 3 SSD running at USB 2 speeds

Could be a bad connection to the USB 3 pins. Maybe a damaged plug or socket. USB 3 sockets usually have two sets of connections. One lot for USB3 and another for USB2. If the USB 3 ones don't make a proper connection the device should fall back to the USB2 connection.

I was wondering if that's possible. I did try both USB3 ports with same result. The SSD came with a USB-C cable and included a USB-C to USB-A adapter (also colored blue). I'll try a different cable to at least rule that out.

Can you show

Code:

lsusb -t

Is this a Pi4 or a Pi5, what power supply are you using and what else is connected to the Pi.

I showed the output of lsusb -t in the first post. It's a Raspberry Pi 4 with the power supply that comes with the bundle. Only things plugged into it are power, Ethernet, and the USB SSD.
