I have ASUS Eee PC Model No:1015CX. It has one USB port on left side and 2 USB ports on right side. In the user manual of Eee PC it is given that it has one USB 3.0 Port. But I am unable to figure out which port is USB 3.0 in spite of trying hard while reading user manual.

What is the surest way to find out, which is USB ports Versions..?

USB 3.0 ports are blue in color.

Normal USB2 ports are black and USB2 charging ports are white in color.

Normally 3.0 are in blue colour, but not always. Especially in hp, they're of regular colour.

Must be older USB3 ports. Cause, that coloring standard is universal, and posts must be like that to be under FCC rule & regulation.
