Is this the new version with internal routing of the USB 3.0 cables?

Hi, the case I received back in September was indeed the one with internal routing of cables for the external USB 3.0 ports on top of the case.

I bought the case in May of 2012 and the USB 3.0 ports on the case were NOT routed inside to be attached to headers on the motherboard. Instead, they were routed to be plugged into USB 3.0 ports from the motherboard on top of the case. The extra cables around the top fan are a little annoying, but my motherboard didn't have the internal 3.0 headers, anyway.

you certainly can use both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0; the only difference is transfer speed.

My case is older so it does not, but I do believe the newer style case should have them. However USB 3.0 is easy to solve because there are many PCIe 1.0 cards that offer USB 3.0 slots to include an interior slot for the motherboard for around 20 bucks, give or take. I used one before and it works great and offers 4 additional USB 3.0 slots besides what is native to your Mother Board...

Some are and some are not. They usually indicate if a 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0 on the package or description. This particular USB 3.0 works with 2.0 as well and it has been working just well for me.

I'm not certain there is a new version of this model, but mine is only usb 2 as indicated. Great case though, still keeping things very cool and can house a huge cpu fan that I got. Before this case, my components ran at over 70c, now they rarely go over 45c.

I can't tell if there is more than one version, but this one specifically is a USB 3.0, which means it does not go into Firewire

This box has both USB 2.0 and 3.0, so the 2.0 will work for sure, not so clear if the 2.0 can be replaced for the 3.0 or not?

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

This case has a built in front USB 3.0 and 2.0 port. USB 3.0 is suppose to be up to 10 times faster and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.0. However, 3.0 requires USB 3.0 capable devices to take advantage of the increased transfer speeds.There is a cable in the case that runs from the front port that you would be able to plug into the motherboard to connect the port.

all USB 3.0 slots are backwards compatible with 2.0 it's not a matter of the card

This is the original R1. I believe the R2 is a recent addition. The R2 has a window and appears to have more USB3's on the front.

Sorry, I haven't had a chance to try on USB 3.0, but, I know it's faster compared to my other WD Passport 2.0.

I assume you mean USB 2.0, in which case yes, it would work. 3.0 is backwards-compatible.

In Front, there are 2 USB 3.0 & 1 USB 2.0. In the back, there are 2 USB 3.0 & 4 USB 2.0

I got out the old box, but the "contents" were not listed. I think it came with a short USB3 cable, but I can't recall. These cables are quite cheep at MonoPrice.

Most likely, it will be limited. USB 3.0 requires both drivers and motherboard ports that earlier models might simply not have. There is some forward compatibility between USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 but I would not bet on it. You will still be getting USB 2.0 speeds.
