Okee the whole idea behind this topic is to take out the fuzz about which laptop / pc will or won't work with USB 3.0 products.
>> An updated official list from BMD (03-01-2018)<<
If you have a laptop / PC with USB3 that works? Please post a message in this topic with the data i need.
Also if you have 1 of these laptops and you can confirm that a application or device works stable. Please tell so. Then i will update this post with the new information.
Devices:
- Atem
- Ultrascope
- Intensity
- Ultrastudio
Operating systems:
- Windows 7 64x bit
-(while Windows 8 is not official supported YET!!) There is something in Win8 called XHCI host controller. I have read several reports of users getting it to work after going trough the steps on this site> http://plugable.com/2012/12/01/windows- ... ntrollers/
* MAC OS: Currently there are no drivers for MAC based software.
At this moment there is someone running windows by Bootcamp and says he has it working. When i have more info about this i will post it!

http://plugable.com/drivers/renesas
NOTE: Recording of uncompressed video on a laptop can be a big issue. SSD's are recommended as they have higher write speeds. Also a lot of newer laptops do have eSata connections were you can connect a harddrive externally. Always check your drive with DiskSpeed
Express Cards: As at this moment while there are Express Card 2.0 cards with USB 3 superspeed. They don't seem to work with the BMD products because of bandwidth problems. If you have more information or suggestions please tell so. We will update this info. Here is a topic were a lot of this is dicussed> http://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewt ... 546#p26546
Sony Vaio: There been several reports of Sony Vaio laptops not working because of bandwitdh problems. It seems that Sony did not route the USB 3 chipset for full speed.
