Are there ports which are labeled SS. If you have neither (like this Thinkpad t540p) all you can do is plug in a USB 3.0 device and see if you get USB-3.0 speeds. > On May 22, 2015 8:21 PM, "Konstantin Olchanski" wrote: >> >> On Fri, May 22, 2015 at 11:37:24AM -0400, Andrew Z wrote: >> > Gents, >> > does this system have USB 3 ? >> > [code] >> > [root@server ~]# lsusb >> > Bus 009 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub >> >> You have a USB3 root hub, but whether you have working USB3 ports, >> it depends.

Re: USB 3
Konstantin, This is exactly what i was looking for - how to identify if I have usb3 wo taking the box apart.

Simplest is to look at mobo specs, the mobo info can usually be extracted from the output of "dmidecode". Then you need to check possible errata - back in early USB2 days, mobos with some AMD chipsets had USB2 hardware that did not work. Now in early USB3 days I have some mobos that need special linux kernel command line switches to make USB2 work (or to make USB3 work, I forget which). -- Konstantin Olchanski Data Acquisition Systems: The Bytes Must Flow!

Re: USB 3
Yes, thank you. I was just hoping to avoid opening the box - its a good half an hour :) operation.
