I wasn't able to find that on google, I guess nobody thinks about that.

I don't believe there is. Your limited by the slowest factor. Usb 2.0 devices are only capable of their designed speed, plugging it into a 3.0 port will be the same as if it was a normal usb port.

The USB 2.0 device will work at USB 2.0 speed, not USB 3.0 speeds

4

certainly not 3.0 speeds, but i've deluded myself into feeling that my flashdrive transfers faster in a 3.0 port

5

ofcourse it will not have USB3 speed, but is there a diffrence?

6

No, there isn't.

USB3 has more pins which are on the bottom of the port, any USB2 device you connect on a USB3 port will only use the 4 USB2 contacts.
