    I’d say if you’re hooking a mouse/keyboard/headset in, the USB 2 are fine. If you’re plugging a flashdrive/external drive in use the USB 3. Also if you want to charge a device, you’ll prefer the USB 3, they have near double the amperage. I assume they were just trying to make the user recognize the ports were different.
