Your benchmark is definitely at USB 2 speeds. There can be several things causing the issue. First, double check that your Seagate OneTouch is the USB 3 version. Next make sure you are plugging the drive into a USB 3 port. Many computers that support USB 3 do not have all the ports as USB 3. They tend to mix both USB 2 and 3 versions. It is common for a USB 3 port to be colored blue. Also not the extra pins for USB 3 in the images. However, that is not always the case. You might have to consult your computer's manual to determine which are the USB 3 ports, if they are not colored are marked. Lastly, make sure you have the proper drivers for your USB controller installed. If the wrong driver is installed, it is possible for the USB controller to work, but run at USB 2 speeds.
