I don't know a way to accurately benchmark my USB slots. If there is a way I'd like to know, but I heard that in general they are faster either in the front or the back but I don't remember which. All I know is that all of my 18 USB slots are 3.0 (except for the 4 3.1 slots but those are being used by other things.)
