      @sim-plicity-dev,
      Hi,
      Please tell me which USB port is recommended to connect SW30 control box, USB 2.0 or USB 3.0?

      Thank you!

        Historically, we've recommended a USB 2.0 port but most modern motherboards only have USB 3.x controllers sitting behind their ports regardless of port designation.

        As seen in the 4 year-old Z390 system above with a single USB 3.1 controller

        a 7 year-old H110 system with a single USB 3.0 controller

        contrasted with an 11 year old Z77 system with a single USB 3.0 controller & two USB 2.0 controllers. This would be the only system on which there would be a practical difference in selecting a USB 2.0 port.

        You can thus use any available port ignoring its USB version designation.
