Greetings:
I have serched the forums using the two product ID's in the subject and have come up empty, so I will post this here.
I have recently purchased a BR3D-12U3. I have installed the CyberLink Media Suite software that came with the product. It works fine when connected to a USB 2.0 port, and my system didn't have a USB 3.0 port. Yesterday I bought & installed a Buffalo IFC-PCIE2U3 for USB 3.0. I have loaded the drivers for that card and in Device Manager the following devices are installed: "NEC Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller" & "NEC Electronics USB 3.0 Root Hub" with no question or exclamation marks. However that new interface card doesn't recognize the BR3D-12U3. When I plug the 3.0 USB cable that came with the BD drive into either of the two USB 3.0 ports, the blue LED on the front of the drive flashes 5 or 6 times and then stops, but the green LED near the back of the BD drive never lights up like it does when connected to a USB 2.0 port. The BD drive does not show up in Windows "Devices and Removable Storage" like it does when connected to a USB 2.0 port. If I connect a USB 2.0 thumb drive to the IFC-PCIE2U3, the thumb drive is accessible and appears to work fine. For some reason the two Buffalo products hooked together don't work. I don't have any other USB 3.0 devices that I can plug in and try, and I don't have any other computers that have USB 3.0 ports where I can plug in this BD drive.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there a fix for this? Running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on a Q9550 Quad core, GA-EX38T-DQ6, 4GB RAM, 850W Antec PS, XFX HD 5850 Black Edition video, Intel X-25 160MB SSD
Thanks in advance......
