USB Type C To USB Type A adapter

trace6x

I bought a generic USB C to type A adapter to make use of the USB C port on my motherboard but the speeds don't match up.

On the left are the speeds when connecting an external USB 3.0 drive directly to a USB 3.1 Gen 1 port and on the right is the same device but connected to a USB 3.1 Gen 1 Port only USB C with the adapter.

 

Am I missing something here or is it just a crappy converter?

I did get it from Ebay but I want to be sure before I send it back.

It looks like you got a USB-C to Type-A 2.0 converter. If you look at the Type-A side, if you can't see five additional pins in the back of the connector, it's not a 3.0 Type A port. See the following image for reference:

I can't quite see without taking it apart but I can't find the extra pins from looking.

Thank you!
