It was very hard to see as the case is black and he USB symbol is also black but it looks very similar to this: but there is a hardly distinguishable "3.1" below the large circle on the left. In the absence of a "10" anywhere on the symbol, I suspect that it will therefore be gen 1 Upvote 0 Downvote
