What do you meand by "insert in front" ? What kind of disk is it ? Is the host controller hot-swap capable ? If it is a SATA disk,it may require to run in AHCI mode to enable hot-swap. > But the problem is that the max size of any file when written to usb is > approx 4.2gb only USB has nothing to do with file size limits. It all depends on the filesystem. FAT limits files to about 4 Gio with 512-byte sectors. NTFS and ext4 have a much higher limit.
