USB 3.1 Gen1 / Gen 2 devices can only be used for data storage. USB 3.0 ports are backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices.  The USB 3.0 ports are SuperSpeed, high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed capable.  USB 3.0 support requires both an operating system and drivers that fully support USB 3.0 transfer rates.

It is strongly recommended that you connect your devices to ports with matching data transfer rate.  Please connect your USB 3.1 Gen 1 devices to USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports and your USB 3.1 Gen 2 devices to USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports for faster and better performance for your devices.
