1460286 2019-04-30 20:20:00 The say that the red USB connector does not power off during sleep or standby mode, but I can not get a speed on it. Does anyone know if it's a 3.0, 3.1 or what? lostsoul62 (16011)
1460287 2019-04-30 21:16:00 You can use the Red USB's as a Std Port, do it all the time on my PC in the lounge.

The following article tells you what all the colours mean /Do and basic Specs - How-to-tell-what-type-of-USB-connector-you-have-by-color.aspx (www.geeksinphoenix.com)

All red or yellow tells you is that power is available, not what speed the port is. That said USB2 or USB1 ports are rarely those colours if ever, Wainuis link suggests they can be but I've never encountered it myself.
