    is that a known issue? the rear one puts out enough but the sideone whenever I plug in my external notebook drive says not enough power.

    though my usb stick works fine. I was thinking of sticking in a mini bluetooth than use a bluetooth gps so no cables would be needed

    Mini-BT works in the side port. That's what I'm using to run my BT GPS reciever.

    MY GPS is running from the side one and my external HDD as well(when the GPS is not occupying it). The rear one is never used cause I have the dongle for my wireless mouse shut away in there.
