Readynas front port with USB 3.0
hi,
just a recommendation, usb 3.0 is getting more common and it's faster.
would be nice and convenient if front port is usb 3.0 instead of 2.0.
furthermore 3.0 hub port is backward compatible with 2.0

- The front port is used for NetGear USB Service keys. If they were to only have usb3 ports in future models that would be good. Hopefully USB3 is getting mature enough now, but that would be for NetGear to decide.
- strongly recommend all USB ports are available in front ports.
USBs are usually plugged temporary, no reason to place it at the back, unless for cost reason where USB ports are mounted on motherboard directly. - The front port is used for USB service and USB2 ports are more likely to be compatible with more devices. I agree it would be nice to go all USB3 eventually though.
