Black-colored USB-A ports typically indicate a USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed USB) connection capable of transfer speeds up to 480 Mbps. This color coding is only a common convention rather than an official industry standard, so a black port's speed can vary between different computers. USB-C ports, by contrast, rarely use color coding at all, and any color present is usually just cosmetic.
