[Arwinpradiptan]

Hi, I have a laptop.
My laptop Have 2 black usb port.
It says SS USB.
I heard that SS is usb 3.
But i heard that usb 3 is blue.
This is weird. I checked and both have usb 3 extra pin. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KKOAjAYwSUsrIsV8GhwWy3iZkP45dFYx/view?usp=sharing

It's Even weirder when i checked my laptop documentary. It says:
1 USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C™ (Data Transfer Only, 5 Gb/s signaling rate); 2 USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A (Data Transfer Only); 1 AC smart pin; 1 HDMI 1.4; 1 headphone/microphone combo

All USB ports on your laptop are USB 3.1.
Color doesn't matter, if you have only single version USB ports.

Normally colors would be:
white - USB 1.0
black - USB 2.0
blue - 3.0
teal - 3.1

USB 3.0 ports are not always blue, they just usually are. I guess your laptop model is an exception. Those ports are USB 3.0, and USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A is just their "newer" name.
