USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports
The GEN series integrated system supports both USB2.0 and USB 3.0 ports.
USB 3.0 is the third major version of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) standard
for computer connectivity. Among other improvements, USB 3.0 adds a new
transfer mode called "SuperSpeed" (SS) that can transfer data at up to
5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s). This is more than ten times faster than the 480 Mbit/s
(60 MB/s) top speed of USB 2.0. USB 3.0 ports and cables are distinguishable
from their 2.0 counterparts either by the blue color of the ports or the SS initials
on the plugs.

USB 3.0 cable and connections
Whenever possible, use the USB 3.0 ports to transfer data faster. It requires
USB 3.0 capable devices to allow for operation at USB 3.0 speeds. When a
USB 2.0 device is plugged into a USB 3.0 port, the device still operates at
USB 2.0 speeds.
When a USB 3.0 device is plugged into a USB 2.0 port, the device still operates
at USB 2.0 speeds.
