These USB 2.0 compatible ports (USB 2.0 is fully USB 1.1 compliant) are for low-speed
peripherals such as keyboards, mice or scanners, and for high-speed peripherals such
as external HDDs, digital video cameras or high-speed scanners etc. Devices can be
plugged into the computer, and unplugged from the computer, without the need to turn
the system off (if the power rating of your USB device is 500mA or above, make sure
you use the power supply which comes with the device).
USB 3.0 will transfer data much faster than USB 2.0, and is backwards-compatible with
USB 2.0.
The USB 3.0 ports capable of 5Gbps (SuperSpeed) are classified as USB 3.1 Gen 1.
