I recently purchased a LaCie 1TB USB external Hard Drive. It came with FNet TurboHDD USB software, tailored to run with LaCie only,  that did really boost transfer rates by up to 30% on my set-up.
Unfortunately the LaCie HDD had to be returned because it did not spin down when the PC was turned off, and if left spinning, caused a blue screen on the PC at start up.

I replaced the LaCie with a Western Digital 1TB Elements USB HDD which behaves very well in addition to being cheaper! 

Does anyone know how to obtain the FNet TurboHDD USB software which, as far as I can see from a Japanese web site, is capable of being used with any external HDD?
An English web site would be helpful 
Alternatively, is there something similar from another software house?

Jeff,
Thanks, that is exactly the program. Odd that I could not find that page on the FNet web site 
However, there's is no Western Digital version 
I asked WD too & they say nothing doing.
I found a Japanese site with a universal version (I think) but the demo said the time had expired when I loaded it.
Terry.

So soon? USB 3.0 is not properly off the ground yet.
