Some additions we have found in the past few years:
- for servers: same as for standard PCs : use the USB ports on the back,
the USB-ports on the front will often fail
- for laptops: if there are USB ports on the back and at the side use
the ports on the back; if there are USB ports at both sides try both sides.
- for all assets: USB 3.0 ports will frequently fail, use USB 2.0 ports
if available
