USB 3.0 – How to Identify USB 3.0 Ports on Windows 7

usbusb-3windows 7

In my laptop (a Lenovo y470 ) there are three USB ports. One of those is USB 3.0 others are USB 2.0 . I do not know which one is what. When I copy data from my External HDD it transfers at 38MB/s from all of the USB ports. (Which is a good speed for USB 2 transfers, but to low for USB 3).

I used the device manager to confirm that I have one USB 3.0 port.

Is there a way a can figure out which port is 3.0 ?
