According to How can I check whether USB3.0 UASP mode is enabled in Linux?, UASP is not in use on my new HDD enclosure that says it supports UASP.
Also, my motherboard's (ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0) manual says:
USB 3.0 Boost ASUS USB 3.0 Boost technology supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), the latest USB 3.0 standard. Witht USB 3.0 Boost technology, a USB device’s transmission speed is significantly increased up to 170%, adding to an already impressive fast USB 3.0 transfer speed. ASUS software automatically accelerates data speeds for compatible USB 3.0 peripherals without the need for any user interaction.
So with motherboard support and device support (and Linux support), why isn't UASP being used, and how can I make it be used?
Or perhaps it is being used, and I just don't know how to check it.
