Hello.
I bouhgt a motherboard GA-Z68XP-UD5 and I want to know which ones are the usb3.0 connectors that you can use at the same time without lost of speed. I have 4 on the back pannel and 4 on the front panel connected to internal usb headers
Thanks

Hi and welcome.

I don't understand the question in as much as there is no choosing which USB ports are faster than others. They all work at the same speed as long as they are the same USB spec.

Sorry, the question is:
I am going to connect two external  hard drives usb3.0, and I need to copy one of them in the other one. To have the complet speed in which ports must I connect it? (I hear than the speed of some of the ports is a chip hub and the speed is half and half if you connect two hard drives in this ports)

To be honest I am not sure if it works that way but I now understand what you are talking about. The USB signal on the rear panel USB 3.0 ports are from the chipset. Now I am not sure that equates with only being able to use half the bandwidth between them and if also using the front panel ports will give any more speed. I would advise confirming that with GGTS:

Cool, as I for one would like to know 100% now that you have brought the subject  up. I really don't think that it would make any difference but it would be nice to have it confirmed.

There is no problem, you can connect the port usb3.0 that you want (of 4) in back pannel. Refer to 20 page of manual. Thanks.
