Antec P183 V3: USB front ports? Conflicting info online
Posted: Sat Apr 27, 2013 11:58 am
I decided to buy a P183 V3 but have since discovered that it seemingly has 1 USB 3.0 and 2 USB 2.0 front ports although Antec's documentation is conflicting.
Webpage says: 3 x USB 3.0
The PDF manual says: 2 x USB 2.0, 1 x USB 3.0
If you have this this case would you please share the USB ports configuration and the case revision if you know it; it might be written on the box.
Considering that USB 3.0 is (generally) backwardly compatible it seems a strange choice to go with only one port. I usually put removable storage in the front sockets so USB 3 works well there. The stuff I have permanently connected at the rear is USB 2.
3 USB 3.0 also seems an odd choice as not many mobos have dual USB 3.0 internal headers so one of each makes sense with 2 allocated to USB 3.0 if not going for the full 4 ports.
