• USB 3.1 Gen 2 / Gen 1 devices can only be used for data storage.
• Due to the design of AMD AM4 series chipset, all USB devices connected to the USB
2.0 and USB 3.1 Gen 1 / Gen 2 ports are controlled by the xHCI controller.
• We strongly recommend that you connect USB 3.1 Gen 2 devices to USB 3.1 Gen 2
ports for faster and better performance from your USB 3.1 Gen 2 devices.
