The USB port is a high-speed port which allows you to connect USB
peripherals, such as a mouse, an external keyboard, additional
storage (external hard disks), or any other compatible device.
Note
Two USB standards are currently available on Acer computers: USB 2.0
(High-speed USB) and USB 3.2 Gen 1/Gen 2 (SuperSpeed USB). USB 2.0
ports on Acer computers have a black tongue in the port, while USB 3.2 Gen
1/Gen 2 ports have a blue tongue. For best performance, USB 3.2 Gen 1/Gen
2 devices should always be plugged into USB 3.2 Gen 1/Gen 2 ports. Consult
your device's documentation to see which standard it supports.
You can also charge devices such as tablets, smartphones, or other
devices through a USB port. Some USB 3.2 Gen 1/Gen 2 ports
support charging devices when the computer is in Hibernate or turned
off. Additionally, you can use a USB hub to connect multiple devices
to a single USB port.
Important
When removing a USB storage device, you should right-click on the
USB icon in the Windows task bar and select "Eject <device>" to tell the
operating system to stop using the device before removing it. Failure to
do this may result in data loss or damage to your peripheral.
