USB 3.0 works slow as USB 2.0 in Ubuntu
2
I bought a USB 3.0 PCIe card and an external 3TB Western Digital USB 3.0 HDD. One partition is NTFS, and another is EXT4, but this is in regards to transferring to the EXT4 partition.
Speeds run between 26-38MB/s.
I am running 14.04, but am backing up my info ATM so I can install 14.10 on the new SSD I just bought.

I don't really know what to do with this, any help would be much appreciated. I provided the above few commands as I figured that would be a good starting point.

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Did you try to measure your external HDD speed on another computer equipped with USB 3.0? Did you try that PCIe card in another computer?

I don't really know what to do with this, any help would be much appreciated. I provided the above few commands as I figured that would be a good starting point.

I suspect dirty or poor quality connectors are at fault. Either that or you are are using an extension cable rated only for USB-2 speeds. As you've probably noticed by now A-type USB connectors look the same on the exterior whether they are designed for USB2 or USB3. As this clever picture shows, there are four additional connectors in A-type USB3 connectors. it seems to me that if such connectors were not plugged in all way, possibly due to obstruction around the case of a laptop or a misaligned shield on a desktop, then it would almost certainly connect only at USB 2.0 speeds.

The Western Digital External Drive came with its own 3.0 USB cable. It is new, and clean. The PCIe card is clean. It is connected firmly.

Most computers sporting USB3 ports designate those ports by making them blue in color. Some manufacturers do not use color to identify them. You may want to make extra sure you are actually using a usb 3.0 port

As far as I understand these things, Ubuntu tends to support usb 3.0. It might be a misbehaving driver as you appear to suspect, or something could be broken, but neither of those explanations appeal to me. About the only other explanation I can imagine is that the hard drive in the external case simply has lack lustre performance, which could be the situation, especially if it is in poor condition internally. Have you run any tests on the drive itself?
