5 Things to Know About the ASRock DeskMeet X300's USB Ports

USB ports are split evenly between front and rear The rear panel has two USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A ports and two USB 2.0 ports, while the front adds two more USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A and one USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C port.

The front USB-C port is Gen1, limited to 5 Gbps It is not Thunderbolt or USB 3.2 Gen2, but it is still useful for quick connections and charging.

Rear USB 2.0 ports are best for keyboard and mouse These are slower but fine for peripherals that do not need high bandwidth, freeing faster ports for other devices.

Gigabit Ethernet is standard at this price point Do not expect 2.5GbE; the included Realtek chip is adequate for most home and office use.

The port layout is practical for daily use Front ports handle frequent plugging and unplugging, while rear ports are for permanent connections like printers or external drives.
