are one or both of the usb ports usb 3.0?

I am almost sure it is not, but the newer one might be. Why would you need speed on a movie PLAYER? You are NOT down loading to it.
756624
No but you don't need them to be this is a player not a burner do yourself a favor though get the hd700 worth the extra $30. These are buy far the best line of media players available including the big names like Sony.

I believe they are both 2.0; not sure; I returned the unit as it did not play flac or some of my movie files. The sellers were very helpful, and even sent me a second set, but same problems. My mp3 files played, but the first few seconds it was a static noise. A shame, because the unit looks great.

no - USB ver 2there is a ethernet port if you want speedier access. Transferring files thru the device is not the fastest (as you would expect) but the process works fine.

Three USP ports total, 2 USB 3.0 on the left side and one USB 2.0 on the right side.

One USB port but some functions are limited by power of the device. Ie I could use on my MacBook, but couldn't format. Had to format from my iMac.

Negative, the USB 2.0 ports are simply for add on's. I use one for my mouse, and a second for my wireless air mouse when I'm reclining on my sofa in the office.

Two (2) USB 3.0 ports on the left side and two (2) USB 2.0 ports on the right side.

Yes, all of the USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports work. You can boot from either of them.

there are two on the front panel and 4 in the back - they are USB 3.0 ports

Yes the ports are the same but some hardware and software are different. Also if you will look into a USB 2.0 port it will be black and 99% of USB 3.0 ports are blue inside.

You need to plug both USB ends. This way, your external HDD will draw more power than from a single USB 2.0 port.

Correct. As in the description...2 of the 4 USB ports on top are 3.0. Of course, your mainboard will need to have 3.0 headers to connect these to.

Yes. One end is standard male USB 3.0 Type-A, the other end is micro male USB 3.0 Type-B.

I can't say with any certainty that the ports are all 2.0 or 3.0 or one of each. I have only one peripheral that is a USB 3.0 and it doesn't work with the router because the router will not recognize it as a back up disk. I can tell you that one port is black on the inside and the other is blue if that helps. My understanding is that blue represents USB 3.0. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Other reviews debated the same question.

Do you have other devices using the other ports at the same time? There is only so much power that the USB port can pull from a single USB 2.0 and 3.0 at a time.

The connections are the same, I plug USB 2.0 into the 3.0 ports all the time. I assume they are compatible the other "direction."

A couple of the answers are not correct.Requirements are:A. one USB 3.0B. USB 2.0 MIGHT require two, MIGHT work with just one (will depend on you port)C. One USB 2.0 and an external power supply (Not included), if one USB 2.0 isn't enough and a second USB 2.0 isn't available.

If you have 2 ports for connecting USB devices version 2.0 and one USB 3.0 port for use as internal storage or hard disk reading

Each port uses a different USB spped. ie. 1.0, 2.0. You can use any of them. THe standard use is 2.0.
