Are the ports USB 2 or USB 3?

I believe they are USB 2. Transfer rates aren't even close to USB 2 rates directly from the computer. It works once set up, but is still a slow transfer for whatever is being moved.

The ports on my MediaShare are USB 2. My unit is a couple of years old now, so later models may support USB 3.

there are two on the front panel and 4 in the back - they are USB 3.0 ports

it is 3.0 but it comes with a separate USB cable to provide power if your using USB 2.0, so in that case you will need 2 USB ports. BTW USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 are the exact same connector, USB 3.0 just provides more power.

USB 3 is backward compatible with USB 2. You just won't see the speed benefit of USB 3

Yes. USB3 is backward compatible with USB2, and the USB3 cable plugs into a USB2 port in your computer.

Each port uses a different USB spped. ie. 1.0, 2.0. You can use any of them. THe standard use is 2.0.

Yes. Your computer's USB port may be USB 2 or USB 3. You can usually tell looking at the port on your computer. If the port has a white plastic insert, it is USB 2. If the insert is blue, then it likely is USB 3. USB 3 cables will work on USB 2 ports, just not at USB 3 speeds. Note that some computers have a mix of USB 2 and USB 3 ports. If you have an older desktop computer with only USB 2 support, and the computer has an open card slot, you can add a card with USB 3 ports to get USB 3 performance.

Yes, there are 2 USB 3.0 ports on the mother board and depending on your case the mother board is setup to support USB 3.0 connections on the front of the case.

I can't say with any certainty that the ports are all 2.0 or 3.0 or one of each. I have only one peripheral that is a USB 3.0 and it doesn't work with the router because the router will not recognize it as a back up disk. I can tell you that one port is black on the inside and the other is blue if that helps. My understanding is that blue represents USB 3.0. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Other reviews debated the same question.

Two USB ports. And you can use multiple "sections" at once. Meaning you can use the USB port and the plug at the same time

There are 6 USB 2.0 ports and 2 USB 3.0 ports. I actually highly recommend this board, AS Rock is the sister company of Asus. The board is great for an 'above average' build for the price.
