PORT
A USB Type-C port is a connector that allows you to easily connect USB Type-C peripherals, such as additional storage
(e.g. an external drive), or any other compatible device.
The Type-C port is reversable; connectors may be inserted with either side up.
Note
On Predator computers USB Type-C ports support up to USB 3.2
(SuperSpeed USB, 10 Gbps).
Other USB devices with a USB Type-C connector are supported, but transfer speed may be reduced and certain functions will be disabled (such as Thunderbolt video support).
Important
When removing a USB storage device, you should right-click on the USB icon in the Windows task bar and select "Eject <device>" to tell the operating system to stop using the device before removing it. Failure to do this may result in data loss or damage to your peripheral.
