I have to be sure, in order to connect my SDD properly: There are 4 USB-A connectors in pairs of 2 on my RPi4. The blue ones are 3.0 and the black ones 2.0?

Can anyone confirm this?

    I have seen in the specs link though that it are 'just' USB 3.0 ports. How can one distinguish them from each other afterwards? Is there a way to find out what's on my Pi from the command line?

The answer was yes (as said in the comments). For completeness, the more or less standard colors are

  • White: USB 1
  • Black: USB 2
  • Blue: USB 3

I understood, that the Pi sometimes used white adapters for USB 2 though.
