Enabling superspeed for USB3 ports?

Enabling superspeed for USB3 ports?

Hi I recently bought an USB3 external hdd. To my surprise when
transferring files from my laptop (Ubuntu 12.04 installed) to this hdd
(connected to an USB3 port using an USB3 cable), the speed is exactly the
same that I get with other USB2 devices.
Is there a way to check if the USB3 super speed is enabled? Do I need to
load some kernel modules at boot? How can I make the transfer rate
increase?
