Gigabyte Z87X-OC USB 3.0 issue (Not using Sleep Mode)

[Svarog]

I'm having some serious USB 3.0 issues with my Z87X-OC, and they are not Sleep Mode related since i don't use that.

The devices i used:

Corsair Flash Voyager USB 3.0 64GB
Corsair Flash Voyager USB 2.0 16GB

When i put the 3.0 stick in one of the USB 3.0 ports and start transfering files, the stick will dissapear after like 10-15 seconds. It still shows up in Device Manager and doesn't show and errors. When i put it in one of the USB 2.0 ports it's all fine.

When i put the 2.0 stick in one of the USB 3.0 ports and start transfering files it's all fine.

I'm hoping it's just a bug that can be fixed with a BIOS flash. If it's related to the Haswell bug then Intel missinformed people, because they said it could only happen when coming out of Sleep Mode.

Is anyone able to test this and confirm aswell?

Just tried another USB 3.0 device which is my Western Digital Elements 1TB HDD, it works fine.

Still wondering what's wrong with that Corsair Flash Drive. It's not broken as it works fine with USB 2.0.

I'm not able to test this but there seem to be a lot of articles talking about Haswell and USB3.0 bug. It doesn't seem to affect all USB3.0 devices though.

Unfortunately it's not just a simple BIOS/UEFI fix. New Z87 C2 stepping motherboards are due in July - Intel Product Change Notification PDF.

Ye i know Haswell has a USB 3.0 bug, but this was only suppost to happen when coming out of Sleep Mode. And i'm not even using Sleep Mode.

When i leave the Flash Drive in the USB 3.0 port all day nothing happens. As soon as i start putting files on it it disappears after 10-15 seconds.

Are your usb drivers all up to date off their website? might be worth a shot if they aren't. Maybe try formatting the usb stick to to rule that out?

All drivers are from the Website yes. And i tried formatting, without succes.

Gigabyte's new EasyTune has a few ON/OFF, CHARGE/BLOCK/SLEEP USB features.
Might be worth checking it out. Similar UEFI and Windows Power settings too. Just in case.
