or the has not that much effects ?


Curious question :

Why still Avid using USB1.1 in Mbox mini? is to make differance between Mbox 3 and Mbox 3 mini
As usual...

The interface has nothing to do with how many plugins you can run... USB, FW... doesn't matter. Your computer does all the work for RTAS, so connection has nothing to do with the reliability of Pro Tools.

USB 1.1 is still completely compatible with modern USB connections, be it 2.0 or 3.0. The only difference is bandwidth. For 2 I/O with no DSP effects or LLM, you don't need any better than 1.1, so a newer bus protocol won't do any better of a job.
