    So I just purchased a used MK8 (will have it Monday), and in looking around, I have found some conflicting information regarding the number of USB3 ports. Some sites say 1x USB3 and 1x USB2, others have said 2x USB3.

    Can anyone give me a definite answer, one way or the other?

    If it is 1 of each, which is which?

    The model number is CF-19ZA289CM.

    Thank you all in advance!

    One usb 3.0 port. from the horses mouth. A horse named Panasonic.

    Did you ask which witch is which?

    The blue one is usb 3.0. This is standard on all usb ports for all manufacturers.

    On the CF19 MK8 the usb3 port is the one on the left side beside the power input
    Difficult to see it is blue because it sits really deep.
    The rear usb port (White FYI) is usb2
