First of all I will tell you what I did before getting to my main question
I bought a new USB stick, wanted to get the Corsair Flash Voyager GTR, which got good reviews, and is one of the fastest USB 2.0 sticks on the market at the moment, but reading further at some comments, it seemed to have a problem concerning its durability, a lot of them refusing to work after some weeks. It seems to be a major problem, and Corsair knows about that. The 32GB which I wanted to buy is 80€.
Then I noticed that the USB 3.0 sticks are only slightly more expensive. So after long researches I checked out the Kingston Data Traveler Ultimate, which costs 100€, is as fast as the Corsair in USB 2.0 mode, and of cause supports the faster USB 3.0. After reading again reviews about it, every site I read the reviews, gave it a golden or silver award, making it one of the best sticks on the market. So I bought it.
As my 2 USB 3.0 connectors are only on the back of my PC tower which stands on the floor, I also bought a USB 3.0 extension cable, which I will then put on my desk.
Here's a picture of the USB stick:
I was also tired of buying all the time external HDD, I still have some many, and they are taking up some space on my desk. I then saw in a magazine that there was now a new HDD dockingstation from Icy Box (Raidsonic), which supports also USB 3.0. I have a dockingstation from Sharkoon already, which supports SATA, IDE and both 2.5" and 3.5" disks. Checking these out, I saw that they have a lot of stuff from Icy Box, and they had a quite nice HDD enclosure, a vrey new one, also being USB 3.0. It was only 40€, so only slightly more expensive than the dockingstation. So I bought one like that too. I think it's nicer to be able to open the enclosure, put the "internal" disk in you need, than having multiple external disks. First of all, internal disks are still cheaper, you can buy whatever brand you like, and you just store them in a drawer and take them out when you need.
Here's pictures of the Icy Box:
But now comes my question (finally):
I can enable IO Level Up on my motherboard, which enhances the speed of USB 3.0 and SATA III, although it reduces PCIe bandwidth from 16x to 8x. When I boot my PC, it shows me IO Level Up [disabled], and some sentence saying to hit the IO Level Up button to enable it. Don't know which button or key it means, so I don't know how to enable it. Do I find it in the BIOS? Does someone know how to enable the IO Level Up? Internet didn't get me any help.
