Port speeds
External ports are capable of transmitting and receiving at 1-Gbps, 2-Gbps, or 4-Gbps. Internal ports are
capable of transmitting and receiving at 1-Gbps or 2-Gbps. The ports can be configured for either
transmission speed or to sense the transmission speed of the device to which it is connected.
