The picture shows a blue USB 3.0 "SS" superspeed port. I didn't think this model had a USB 3.0 port?

Yes, this one has. The most recent models of this model number have been upgraded to usb 3.0. But if you get an old model (older stock) they will have only a 2.0 despite having the same model number.

I just got mine in the mail and it is the SS-860XP2. The picture is a little deceiving.

I just opened mine from Amazon.com. I can confirm that it has the blue USB 3.0 port on it as well as Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

hiro.Is this the 2.0 white superdrive version? And can you confirm when it is in your hands.

Depends on the computer/laptop a lot of manufactures like to make the connection blue, or have a special symbol. If you look in your computer management->Universal Serial Bus controller you should see one listed as USB 3.0.

Mine came with a USB 2.0 cable. The difference is easily seen. USB 3.0 connectors have a Blue lip and USB 2.0/1.0 cables have a Black lip

Probably a USB 2.0. I seriously doubt it's a 3.0. Doesn't matter as the serial port is MUCH slower anyway. The USB 3.0 computer port will work with slower stuff.

I have the prior 800/400/usb 2.0 version and it is 7200rpm. I can't imagine they went backwards..

This is USB 2.It will work with USB 3.0. I do not see any improvement in performance.

I was pleasantly surprised that mine came with an internal USB 3.0 connector. I think the picture and description need to be updated. Mine was a flat black, not the glossy black shown here.

I have not purchased this specific drive, but if it was a USB 3.0, it would have a blue inner connector since that is the standard connection for usb 3.0.

I maybe wrong but it looks like 2 USB2 in front and on the back. Never used USB3 before, so not exactly sure.So far, seems to work good

This is from Wikipedia: USB 3.0 adds a new transfer mode called "SuperSpeed," (distinguishable from USB 2.0 by either the blue colour of the port or the initials SS) capable of transferring data at up to 5 Gbit/s - more than ten times as fast as the 480 Mbit/s top speed of USB 2.0.

Based on when this was introducer, I doubt it's USB 3. If your internal storage is either flash or SD, it really doesn't make much difference whether you have USB 2 or USB 3 port speed - the storage element write speed will be the gateing item.

Spec sheet says USB 3.0, where are you seeing 2.0 ? http://www.lenovo.com/products/us/server/content/pdfs/datasheets/ThinkServer_TS130_Datasheet.pdf

Yes it is. I've used it with both 2.0 and 3.0 ports. 3.0 is definitely faster though.
