Does Inspiron 5675 support UASP protocol for USB?
I'm looking to by an enclosure for a new SSD I'm adding to my system, and it has UASB support that says if your computer supports it, using usb 3 will run much faster than just plain usb 3. All I can find in the online manual is that it uses 3.1, and one is a power port or something like that.

How do I know if I have UASP?
UASP stands for USB Attached SCSI Protocol. It allows for faster read/write data speeds to and from storage devices. Compared to traditional USB 3.0 BOT, UASP performs up to 70% faster read speeds and 40% faster write speeds at peak performance.
UASP External Hard Drive Enclosures
UASP USB 3.0 Controller Cards
To take advantage of UASP-enabled devices you will need to be running Windows 8 or newer, or Mac OS X 10.8 or newer. Some versions of Linux running kernel 2.6.3 and higher can take advantage of UASP, but it is limited to a very small set of supported hardware.
Most USB 3.0 hard drive enclosures and docking stations support UASP. All supported StarTech.com UASP hard drives docks and enclosures include UASP in the product title as well as the technical specifications section. And with the new USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) and USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) enclosures for 3.5” SATA drives, you will be able to get the speed and capacity you want in external data storage.

Neither the Inspiron 5675 specifications PDF nor the Service Manual PDF mentions UASB protocol. You will need to download and install a 3rd party application like AIDA64 Extreme. It has a free 30 day trial. Perhaps it will show you if UASB is supported.

Lots of data there, but the specific question was not answered?
"Does Inspiron 5675 support UASP protocol for USB?"
Are you saying that any computer from Dell that shipped with Windows 8/8.1/10 will support UASP protocol for USB?

The protocol is based on windows and Drivers and the Enclosure or Drive supporting this.
Its like saying you need a DUAL BAND 802.11AC router and WIFI card to get the higher speed.
2.4Ghz 802.11N devices DO NOT give AC600 speed. Nor do AC600 wifi devices get 600 speed with only an 802.11 B/G/N 2.4Ghz router.
So most NEW Dells will work with this and updated windows AND

You are only as fast as the slowest link. This would also mean SSD drives are required and that regular SATA hard drives don't run that speed. This also means at least X4 PCI-E slot for the card.
And the cards are NOT Cheap.
