USB 3 drive runs at USB 2 speed after reconnecting
There’s something going on with my MacBook Air and external devices wherein external hard drives run at usb 2 speeds, around 30 MBps The weird thing is that if I restart my Mac with the hard drive connected, it goes back to the usual usb 3 speeds, around 90-100 MBps. Ejecting the hard drive and plugging it back in makes it go back to usb 2 speeds again. My only solution to this is leaving my hard drive connected at all times. Is this a bug in macOS or something else? I've been experiencing this since macOS 11.3 or 11.3.1. My hard drive configuration is a SATA to USB C adaptor. Another thing that I noticed is that the Hard drive uses the first usb bus, which makes my hard drive run at usb 3 speeds, and in the description, it's speed says 5gbps . After disconnecting and reconnecting, it switches to the second USB 3.1 bus and makes my hard drive run at usb 2 speeds, and now the description says that the speed is 480 mbps.
MacBook Air (2020 or later)
