Parallels Desktop 8.0.18101.797180 How To Enable 3I followed the link given in Parallels configuration help for how to enable 3.0 support in Windows 7. Parallels Desktop 8.0.18101.797180 Bluetooth Advanced SettingsThe link takes me to I downloaded and installed the USB 3.0 Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 driver (USB3.0allOS2.1.28.1PV.exe) that was available on this page, then enabled USB 3.0 support in the Parallels configuration for the VM (Hardware USB Bluetooth Advanced Settings Enable USB 3.0), rebooted Windows to let the driver get fully installed and loaded, then rebooted the Mac. As has always been the case, the external drives start out as USB 3.0 devices after the Mac reboot. However, they are still shifted to the USB 2.0 hub as soon as Windows starts. I get a pop-up notification from the Windows taskbar tray - basically it says the USB Mass Storage could run faster if I connected to a USB 3.0 Superspeed port. Apparently the driver does not see that the drives are connected to a USB 3.0 hub. Parallels or Windows seems to immediately shift the drives to USB 2.0, perhaps before the Renesas driver even has a chance to see the drives. The Renesas driver is installed - nusb3mon.exe is visible in Task Manager, and the Reneseas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller and Root Hub are listed in Device Managers USB Serial Bus controllers list. They performed IO faster than the maximum USB 2.0 speed. I did not think Windows 7 was capable of USB 3.0 without installation of a driver, and with USB 3.0 not yet enabled in the Parallels config - yet it seemed I was getting USB 3.0 speed from Windows.
