That reminds me of an old problem, regardless of which version of USB:
On many PCs the front panel USB sockets have a really poor quality
flylead from the front panel to USB header pins on the motherboard.
While this was often not a problem with the original slowest USB
speeds, it sometimes was, and very unreliable with faster speeds.
And I wish USB stick manufacturers would stop making silly designs, I
was asked to copy a file to one the other day, and it was too fat to
fit into the socket with other things plugged in next to it.
