Hey guys i recently bought hpx705w usb 3.0 pendrive but its not working when i plug it in front usb ports , works fine when plugged in back ports.And front usb ports are working fine when i connect other devices.
What should i do ?

Front USB might not be able to provide sufficient power to run your Pendrive.

Front USB are mostly not USB 3.0. But they should work with USB 2.0 speeds.

The front usb port of my acer pc won't recognize usb3.0 drives most of the time. I have to slightly pull out/push in the drive to get it detected. Looks like a problem with loose contact.
