Front USBs tend not to receive as much power as rear USBs so devices that draw a lot of power (such as external drives) may refuse to work. The same thing happens with some hubs as well.

There are two simple solutions.
1. to buy a usb extention cord for only a usb port and connect it to the rear usb.
Here is a picture
2. get an active usb hub. This is a usb hub with its own power supply so that it does not drain power fron the usb ports in the computer. this can be connected fron or rear.
