| 1440002 | 2017-09-30 19:34:00 | My Toshia Satellite notebook has for USB slots. Running Win 8.1. How can I determine which, if any, are USB3? Thanks |

| 1440003 | 2017-09-30 19:42:00 | If the slot has a blue bar in it, ie. where the USB goes in, that is USB3. If there isn't a blue bar, it is USB2. You could try Google, insert the Toshiba model # and follow through from there. I got and downloaded the Manual address for mine and that was quite informative. | Bryan (147) | ||
| 1440004 | 2017-09-30 19:43:00 | Nevermind -I found the answer in the manual (they're all USB3). Thanks anyway. | Greg (193) | ||

| 1440010 | 2017-10-01 00:43:00 | The blue bar is pretty well standard. | Bryan (147) | ||
| 1440011 | 2017-10-01 03:51:00 | Most will use the blue plastic insert to signify usb3 but if not they will have an SS USB symbol next to then. Also a USB port with a yellow insert usually means that port will still charge a phone etc when the computer or laptop is turned off. |
