my sony vaio laptop has 3 usb ports. how do i know if they are compatible with usb 3.0 transfer technology (eg an external hard drive that is capable of gtransferring data at 3.0 speed). the device manager in control panels does not seem to reveal this infromation. my OS is Wind 7.

    Hi LS1234 and welcome.

     

    Have you tried looking at the specifications/manual of your model?

     

    I cannot give you a link because you do not say which Vaio you have.

     

    Generally speaking, a USB 3.0 port will have a blue insert: -

    It looks like you have USB 2.0 ports - 3 normal and one combined USB/eSATA port.
