It is unclear to me which type of USB ports are on my Late 2012 Mac mini.
Apple specs state USB 3.0.
My Mac mini System Reports indicates "both" USB 2.0 and USB 3.0.
But the USB connectors on my Mac mini "do not" have the Blue interior as noted in several references on USB standards that I have researched.
How do I know if the USB on my Mac mini are USB 2.0 or USB 3.0?

You’ll find that if you plug in a USB 3.0 compatible device it will trigger the system to activate the 3.0 hub. If the device is a USB 2 device it will connect via USB 2 protocols.
