USB 3 devices in Windows 7 VM

VMWare Fusion 6.0.4

 

 

 

In VMware Fusion 6.0.4 with a Windows 7 64 bit virtual machine, I set the USB compatibility mode to USB 2.0.  But when I connect an external USB 3 SSD drive directly to the laptop, Windows 7 displays a "could not find driver" error.  Why would it do this?  If the USB compatibility mode is set to USB 2.0, shouldn't that make the laptop USB port act like a USB 2.0 port in the virtual machine?

 

 

 

Also, can VMware update the VMware Tools in Fusion to include a USB 3.0 driver for Windows 7?
