    In most cases they are the same. Is this a store bought machine? Or was it a custom build?

      hi spoiler, it's a bought machine.  I asked the question because some devices have usb 1.1 and some have usb 2.0 which is faster. I wondered which usb port to use.

        All the ports are USB 2.0.  Use any of them for a flash drive; use the rear ones for external hard drive.
