Do this product actually have USB 3.0 port? if so, How i can install drivers for that?


In the specifications for this model i can see there is a USB 3.0 port,
All 4 usb ports are working fine but i can see nothing as USB 3.0 in device manger under Universal Serial Bus controllers, I tried installing "ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp53501-54000/sp53671.exe" from drivers download page for my product. It changed nothing in device manager but installed an application called "USB 3.0 Host Control Utility" when i open it displays a "Warning!" Dialog saying "USB 3.0 Host Controller not found".

Why is that?

Do this product actually have USB 3.0 port? if so, How i can install drivers for that?

USB 3.0 port will always have a blue plastic insert in the port, usb 2.0 will be black.

I can find no manual showing which are supposed to be the 3.0 port.

I see the note in the Port specifications for that model

"(3.0 USB is available on select models.)"

So yours may not have one.

I can see 9 pin connectors in one of four USB port, I thought that one is USB 3.0 port, I can see that port mentioned as USB 3.0 in "HP_ProBook_4430s_4530s_Notebook_PC_Datasheet.pdf" donloaded from HP wesite. Port looks like USB 3.0, if there is any posibality of mounting 9 pin USB 3.0 port without adding USB 3.0 support to the main board just with functionality of USB 2.0 ?

Yes it is possible that it has a 9 pin without 3.0 support.

Like I said before, all usb 3.0 ports that I have seen and are working at 3.0 speeds have a blue plastic insert.

HP also has some notebooks with an e-sata + usb combo port. I don't think yours has this though.
