    Greetings,

    Recently updated to BIOS A11 from A10. Dell says the fix and enhancement is

    "USB legacy function has the chance to be disabled after upgrading the BIOS to at least A08 from A07 or older."

    Prior to updating, I noted my iPod Touch would take "awhile" to initially sync when plugged in to the 3.0 port. My WD Essential 3.0 drive would transfer data 60-80 mb/s.

    Today, my iPod Touch sync "quicker" and my drive transferred data at 30-40 mb/s.

    Anybody else notice any changes to the performance of their USB 3.0 ports after the update?
