(USB)
The USB port is a high-speed port which allows you to
connect USB peripherals, such as a mouse, an external
keyboard, additional storage (external hard disks), or any
other compatible device.
You can also charge devices such as tablets, smartphones,
or other devices through a USB port. USB 3.1 Gen 2 port
supports charging devices when the computer is in
Hibernate or turned off. Additionally, you can use a USB
hub to connect multiple devices to a single USB port.
Note
Two USB standards are currently available on Predator
computers: USB 3.1 Gen 1 (SuperSpeed USB) and USB 3.1 Gen 2
(SuperSpeedPlus USB). For best performance, USB 3.1 Gen 2
device should always be plugged into USB 3.1 Gen 2 port. Consult
your device’s documentation to see which standard it supports.
Important
When removing a USB storage device, you should right-click on
the USB icon in the Windows task bar and select "Eject <device>"
to tell the operating system to stop using the device before
removing it. Failure to do this may result in data loss or damage
to your peripheral.
