Is there any difference between front and back USB ports? These problems never occur when I'm using the back ports directly off my mobo or adapter card, and going back to the power issue, this is because the USB ports on the mobo provide 900+ mA of power, and the front header ports are only given 500 mA of power (found this out through tech support for one of my cases).

What Is the Difference Between Powered & Non-Powered USB Hubs? USB hubs increase the number of USB devices that can connect to a computer without having to add additional hardware. Additionally, USB hubs can be useful with devices like laptops that can't physically add more USB ports. The difference between powered and non-powered USB hubs is that the former draws its power from an electrical outlet while the latter draws its power from the computer connection.

How to Find Which Is the 2.0 USB Port on My Computer A USB port, or universal serial bus, establishes communication between external devices and the host controller. A USB can connect peripherals, such as storage units or keyboards, to your computer. Originally created with a 1.0 specification, the USB has grown throughout the years. The 2.0 specification provides a higher data transfer rate than its predecessor. Many computers offer at least one version of both ports. Locating the 2.0 USB port on your computer can be tricky. The first step is to confirm that you have a 2.0 USB then identify and mark it. credit: Creatas Images/Creatas/Getty Images.

The Difference between USB Type A and USB Type B Plug/Connector The USB receptacle on your PC is a type A connector and can be recognized by its rectangular shape.Type A receptacles can be found on upstream devices such as a USB host, or a hub. Type A plugs can be found on cables, and smaller peripherals such as a mouse and a flash drive. However, many larger USB peripherals such as printers and scanners use a detachable cable, and use the Type B receptacle, which has a square shape. Instruments are another type of downstream device. To connect an instrument to your PC, you will need to use a USB Type A to Type B cable. The two types of plugs have the same number of pins, and are electrically identical. They are only different mechanically.

How to tell the difference between Micro, Mini, and regular HDMI connectors So, from this picture, you can see that the Micro USB is slightly wider and shorter, than the Micro HDMI. Hopefully this will help to clear your confusion, and what port that you have... that is, until you only have a Micro USB 2 that also includes MHL functionality. We'll talk about that in another post, though.
