Scroll down to "Host and device interface receptacles". There is a socket/plug compatibility matrix/table.

Well the connectors look like "Type-A SuperSpeed" in that table. And with considerable wiggling and a lot of force I got a PNY flash drive plugged into one but nothing showed on the desktop or in the lsusb listing? The same drive plugged into a USB2 port on the front panel shows in both.

I still doubt that those connectors are compatible, at least I worry when I have to use that much force to make something fit, I smelled no smoke though?
