No, not all USB 3.0 ports are blue. Some are black, and some are a different color entirely. The blue ports are just more commonly seen because they're the standard color for USB 3.0.
Most USB slots are the same, but there are some differences. USB 2.0 is the most common type, but there are also 3.0 and 3.1 slots. USB 2.0 is compatible with most devices, but 3.0 and 3.1 devices will only work in those slots.
Most computers come with a variety of expansion cards already installed. These expansion cards give the computer the ability to connect to different types of devices and peripherals. While some expansion cards are essential, others are not necessary and can be added later if needed. The most essential expansion card is the graphics card. This card is responsible for generating the images that are displayed on the monitor. Without a graphics card, the computer would not be able to display anything on the screen. Other essential expansion cards include the sound card and the network card. While not essential, some expansion cards can
Expansion cards are still used in many computers, though their use has diminished in recent years. Many motherboards now come with built-in features that used to require expansion cards, such as Ethernet and audio. However, there are still some expansion cards that are useful, such as graphics cards and network cards.

I utilize a high-end USB 3.0 network adapter with an antiquated system. I would occasionally receive 6Mbps down/100 Mbps up when plugged into the USB 3.0 slot on the back of the system. Other times, I might experience a 100-point swing. I consistently get 85 down/100 up with this adapter. I lack any disks with which to test it. Mine only receive 30 to 60 MBps, which is probably not enough to stress it. Anyhow, it is an improvement over what I had.I examined my Lenovo 11017 with the use of Microsoft's USB Device Viewer. It appears that the internal USB 3.0 hub is connected to an internal non-USB 3.0 hub on the inside. It can't be good, that. It most likely explains the erratic performance.I have control over what utilizes this adapter because it appears in My Computer as a USB xHCI Compliant Host Controller. 6 is far worse than 85!

Since the Oculus compatibility tool doesn't like my motherboard's USB 3.0 ports, I purchased this card for virtual reality. The card passes the Oculus compatibility test and operates well. However, DO NOT discard the CD. Windows 10 automatically installed drivers for it, but they weren't functional for me. When I copied data TO an external hard drive, the transfer rates were terrible (less than 5 MB/s), yet they were excellent (more than 90 MB/s) when I copied files FROM it. After putting in the "Red card" drivers from the CD, the issue was fixed.I purchased this in order to convert the card's two internal USB ports to front USB ports:Amebay's 5.25-inch front-panel USB hub has two USB 3.0 ports and a 20-pin connector. It also comes with a 2-foot adapter cable.uxcell® 27cm Blue USB 3.0 A Male to Male 19 Pin Header Slot Adapter Cable, BUT if you purchase the card with the inbuilt 20-pin connector, you can dispense with the cable:Expand two more USB 3.0 ports with the Inateck PCI-E to USB 3.0 5-Port PCI Express Card with 15-Pin Power Connector, Mini PCI-E USB 3.0 Hub Controller Adapter, and Internal USB 3.0 20-PIN Connector.

I combined two Intel M.2 SSDs using this product into a RAID 0 configuration. This card worked perfectly when I installed it in an ASUS x299 TUF Mark 2 motherboard with an i9-9960x. If you have a similar configuration and wish to utilize VROC to RAID the drives, simply make sure to plug it into one of the x16 slots connected to the processor. I didn't need to purchase a VROC key because I used RAID0, but you might if you use a different RAID setup or non-Intel devices (I would ask ASUS before trying since I found conflicting info about what combinations required a VROC key). As this card is passive and lacks a switch that adds bifurcation, if you use it in a different configuration, make sure your system supports PCIe bifurcation.

I purchased this USB extension card to use with the Oculus Rift over the one that was advised because I could not stand the red PCB on the Inateck USB Expansion card, even though that one is supposed to be guaranteed to function, despite what all of the material informed me. My reasoning was that if the expansion card did not function with the Oculus sensors, I would shift my present USB peripherals that are hooked into my motherboard slots to the expansion card and use those slots for the sensors. I wasn't required to do this. I have a three-sensor configuration, and I was successfully able to use the Rift while connecting all three sensors to this expansion card. I've connected three sensors and an unrelated USB peripheral to the card while using the supplied Molex power adapter without experiencing any issues. I never have disconnects or anything else during extended VR experiences. The HMD is not connected to the expansion card because I have the HMD plugged into a front panel USB port and the HDMI into an HDMI extender. I've had this card for a few months now and haven't run across any issues. The unsightly "ketchup and mustard" colored Molex power cable that was provided rather than a black one to match the PCB is the only thing that bothers me.

A second USB port was required on the computer case's back. This appeared to be a suitable fit because the machine had 2 open PCI e slots and a bunch of SATA power connections available from the power supply. The only issue was that the USB ports on the card weren't lined up with the case opening in the first PCIe slot I tried. Even though the second PCIe slot was better, it was still not precisely straight. For this reason, I believe I would still advise a card with horizontal rather than vertical ports, even if it meant fewer USB ports.

This one actually functions, in contrast to the completely awful dodocool substitute (dodocool PCI-Express Card with Dual Type-C Ports 15-Pin Connector SuperSpeed Gen II (10 Gbps) for Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 Linux Kernal). The fact that this Totovin offering included a Windows 7 driver disk, which is absolutely necessary for that operating system, is one of the main reasons for the difference.Not only did the "dodocool" device not function at all (and caused horrific crashes under Windows 7), but the manufacturer also declined to offer assistance.My only complaint is that the user guide mentions connecting a SATA power connector, but this card does not have one (and which does come with the dodocool). That could have been helpful for USB 3.1 devices that are not powered...

I chose the Sonnet USB-C PCIe card after comparing several others because it received positive ratings. Although price is essential, and this wasn't the cheapest, my time is valuable, and I don't want to deal with hassles or computer issues; I just want it to work without having to solve any issues. A more recent instruction sheet was available after following the instructions and visiting the SonnetTech website. The only difference I could find was that High Sierra didn't require downloading the drivers, which was excellent.The simplest installation of anything I've ever done on my Mac Pro 2012,5.1 was when I put this in. To prevent the computer from absorbing any dust from the floor, it is placed on my desk. The two screws holding the cards in can be removed with a little Phillips screwdriver. It only took a few minutes to remove the side panel. to replace the side cover, unscrew the two screws holding the empty card bay plate in place, and insert the new USB-C card. What might be simpler?When I turned on the 5,1 and looked under "About this Mac," I saw that the USB-C card was already in place. To view the list of all the USB objects, one might need to slightly drag the window bar down.Exited A 3-foot long Amazon USB-C > USB3 Gen2 cable was then used to connect a 5TB USB-3.0 desktop HDD to the USB-C PCIe card on this Mac (this was an Amazon cable). I then copied several movie files from the computer's SSD to the desktop drive and was astonished by how quickly it went! I was knocked out. With the new card, the first file was downloaded in just five and a half minutes instead of the "around an hour" it would have taken via USB 2.0. In contrast to 2.0's 10 > 15MB/s, the transfer rate for four distinct huge (45GB) video files was consistent at 137MB/s or − an MB. incredibly impressive I have plans for an additional desktop HDD due to the 4K video files that are filling up my drives, and this card will be essential for a quick workflow and an enhanced backup system.
While USB ports are not being phased out entirely, they are being replaced by newer, more versatile ports. This is because USB ports are limited in the amount of data they can transfer and the types of devices they can connect to. Newer ports, such as Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C, can transfer more data and connect to a wider range of devices.
Yes, a USB 3.1 can be used in a 2.0 port. The data transfer rate will be slower, however, because USB 3.1 operates at 10 Gbps while USB 2.0 is limited to 480 Mbps.
It doesn't matter which USB port you use. All USB ports are the same and will work with any USB device.
USB hubs are the best way to get more USB ports. They come in a variety of sizes, with some offering up to 16 ports. You can also daisy-chain multiple hubs together to get even more ports. Another way to get more USB ports is to use a USB card. These cards plug into an empty slot on your computer and give you additional USB ports. If you need more than a few extra USB ports, you can always get a USB expansion chassis. These enclosures house multiple USB cards and give you a ton of extra ports.
