Problem in enabling USB 3.0 in Fedora 16 in Dell Inspiron 1525
I recently bought WD Elements SE 1TB (USB 3.0) Hard Drive (WDBPCK0010BBK)
but I am unable to enable USB 3.0 in my laptop.I googled and found that you just have to enable xHCI module but I am unable to do it.Can someone guide me in doing that?
Thank you

As far as I can tell, your model does not support usb-3.0, therefore the drive will operate at usb-2.0 speed.
If it did you would see something such as this:
