I've just bought a brand new MacAir. It states in the technical specs that it comes with 2 x USB 3.0 (up to 5GB) ports...
However... when I check the specs:
About this Mac> More Info >Hardware >USB
It shows up:
USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Bus
USB 3.0 HighSpeed Bus
Under the 3.0 HighSpeed Bus, it says:
USB 3.0 Hi-Speed Bus:
Host Controller Location: Built-in USB
Host Controller Driver: AppleUSBXHCI
PCI Device ID: 0x9c31
PCI Revision ID: 0x0004
PCI Vendor ID: 0x8086
Bus Number: 0x0a
BRCM20702 Hub:

Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec

I'm confused...
Does this mean only 1 port is true USB3.0?
NB: I took my new MacAir back to the Apple store today and they replaced it with a brand new one, however straight out of the box it has the above specs, which was the same as the other machine so I'm wondering if I'm missing something here...?
