Computer Ports:
* USB 2 computer ports are usually implemented with a 'high-speed' transfer rate, but a slower 'full-
speed' specification can sometimes be found on older PC (Windows) computers or USB add-in cards.
To check for high-speed USB 2 or USB 3 on a PC computer running Windows, look in the Control
Panel / Device Manager / Universal Serial Bus controllers section for "Enhanced" host controllers. As
this does not provide any mapping information to the computer's physical ports, and there can be a
mix of USB port versions, you should check individual USB ports for USB 2/3 high-speed operational
performance.
