Some USB ports on the motherboard are not functioning well.

Here are your specs rephrased:
- Motherboard: Gigabtye Aorus B450M
- Processor: Ryzen 3 2200G
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB
- USB ports on the PC (both front and rear) show extremely slow data transfer rates.
- When moving files to a USB 3.1 port or any other port, speeds stay below 30MBps.
- USB drives work fine on an older laptop with a USB 3 port, achieving 100MBps bursts and 60MBps sustained speeds.
- The bottleneck is the older Celeron CPU, which limits performance.
- You've already overclocked the CPU and GPU, and RAM is set to XMP.
Need further assistance?

It seems the USB 3 speeds don’t improve much, probably because the USB controller’s cache gets full and slows things down.

They use USB 3.0 and 2.0 devices, and they always stay within the limits you mentioned. It seems you're using the same cable as before, but there are cables that handle different speeds. I should verify if the device supports USB 3.0 or higher speeds.

Your motherboard supports USB 3.1 ports, and your USB drive is also USB 3.1 O+ compatible.

You're right, I understand now. Please share the text you'd like me to rephrase.

what operating system are you using? have you ever set up the usb stick before? or recently? (just noticed you mentioned a usb drive—does it connect as an external hdd?) if it's a usb pendrive with usb 3.1, you can attempt to change its file system from fat32 to ntfs. if not, you might find the information on websites suggesting 3.0, but how far will usb 3.1 really be? https://windowsreport.com/usb-3-0-transfer-speed-slow/ now regarding your options, here are some ideas: a) you could try installing linux mint 21 in dual boot mode—great if you have several drives. or b) a more straightforward method is to boot from a bootable drive and test speeds using the same drive for transfers. c) even with just one drive, you can use it as a bootable system and a memory card as a temporary test unit. d) you could keep the single drive as both a bootable system and a portable device for speed checks—just plug it in and open it from root. but for d, if you add a file to the bootable drive after installing os or mint, about 1 gigabyte should suffice. (in order of ease: a > b > c > d)

Windows tested in NFTS and FAT32 didn’t show any difference. I’ll give it a shot later after exams. Why does my older laptop run fast while mine doesn’t? And how can I reinstall drivers? There are so many options.

You can simply visit Google and search for USB drivers along with their versions. Before doing that, take a screenshot of the driver names that might assist in restoring your system later. Even if something fails, you can reinstall Windows without losing any data.

I gave it a shot... But nothing occurred. It's moving way too slowly—__-

I'm facing the same issue with just the front ports. I haven't found a solution in about six months. Have you looked at your motherboard's official site for any available USB drivers?
