Hmm, actually I read that USB 3.0 support was supported in Linux from 2009 on. It could have been an issue with my USB 3.0 controller and the older Kernels. At least it's good now, and the E6330 is so fast with LL, everything just opens in a snap.

Gratz!
Nice that the problem was solved... but strange that a 5 year old USB3 controller had to wait until now for kernel support.
Maybe it's a patent issue or something. Was beginning to feel sorry for (indirectly) suggesting the 6330, phew!
Cheers!

supergamer I just jumped to 4.13 and installed it. I figured the higher the Kernel the more features it has
Thanks Jerry I did not even think to look there. Not a Linux expert yet haha, but trying to learn as much as I can and loving it.

Glad the kernel updated fixed this issue. It should be noted that the kernels are also in Install/Remove packages from the menu. Did you happen to try the 4.10 series and see if that fixed things or just went up to the 4.13 for good measure.

I have fixed the slow USB 3.0 issue by actually installing 4.13 Kernel. This is what worked for me hopefully it will help others:
To get the Kernel 4.13 from the command console, run the commands below one by one:
For 64-bit OS:
cd /tmp/
wget
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.13/linux-headers-4.13.0-041300_4.13.0-041300.201709031731_all.deb
wget
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.13/linux-headers-4.13.0-041300-generic_4.13.0-041300.201709031731_amd64.deb
wget
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.13/linux-image-4.13.0-041300-generic_4.13.0-041300.201709031731_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
for 32-bit OS:
cd /tmp/
wget
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.13/linux-headers-4.13.0-041300_4.13.0-041300.201709031731_all.deb
wget
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.13/linux-headers-4.13.0-041300-generic_4.13.0-041300.201709031731_i386.deb
wget
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.13/linux-image-4.13.0-041300-generic_4.13.0-041300.201709031731_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
After installed these .debs, restart and enjoy!

I would bet it has to do with kernel drivers for a newer kernel. If possible try the 4.10 kernel series (hwe ones).

OK I can confirm 100% that the issue with USB 3.0 speeds is with Ubuntu 16.04 which LL 3.6 is based on. After installing Win 10 in order to update my BIOS I copied and pasted a 80GB file. Speeds were locked at 140+mb/s. Then I downloaded Ubuntu 17.10 64bit. Tested it out the same way copied a 80GB file and the speeds are locked as well at 140+mb/s. Also like to add this is with the exFat file system on Win 10 & Ubuntu. Hmm, I wonder is there anyway to fix this ?

Tried ext4 , ext2, then tried to transfer a smaller 5GB file all the same speeds, average 17.5mb/s. I was thinking if I install Wine and download the USB 3.0 drivers from Dell would that work? Would it install correctly? A shame Dell has no Linux support on their site for my model of Laptop.

Thanks for the input. Hmmm, I think I will try your suggestion to trinidad. First I'll try ext4 and see if there are any issues. If there are issues I will use ext2 file system and see how that works. I think I will just try that method, being I don't want to run Ethernet cable right now
. If speeds do improve then I will leave whatever file system gives me the best results.

Couple of suggestions I would add to this. The fastest way to transfer huge files from a Linux box to a Windows 7 box is to use grsync via ethernet. Also .mkv files are a kind of universal container file which can contain differing OS information and meta-data depending how edits are made and simple things like Windows fonts can slow down or mess up transfers between Linux and Windows. Add grsync to Windows 7, and a commander style file manager, and then ethernet the Windows box to the Linux box.
If you are going to continue using USBs between the transfers format to ext2, and install ext2fsd to Windows 7 and a commander style file manager. Still 64G is an awfully big container file for a run of the mill consumer style (Windows 7) box to copy from Linux no matter how you do it and meta-data changes and editing quirks can mess with transfers.
*Important* I believe ext2fsd will work fine in Windows 7 64bit mode as long as the USB being accessed is formatted to ext2. There are issues with 64bit mode in newer Linux OSs on ext4 file transfers.

Hello, actually I didn't think of that I will surely test out the ext4 file system on my USB and see how fast the speeds are thank you.
Reason I use exfat is because I transfer files from my Linux PC to my Win 7 PC
I just came across a program that lets you read the ext file systems in Windows, it's called Ext2Read, so if the speeds do improve I will use this program to transfer my files instead of exfat.

You could also make your USB ext4 file system. Then test ext4 to ext4 under USB 3.0

Thank you, I will do some more test with smaller files and see how it works.
Thanks again.
