What is "rear usb" and how do you use it? Does it require special mounting so you can access the USB port(s)?

The rear usb is if you want to listen to Pandora through your iPhone/iPad or any other usb thumb drive.

I plugged a Ipod 30 pin cable into it and routed the cable to where I put the Ipod (glovebox) and just leave the cable plugged in.

It is perfect if using a iPhone or iPad embedded mount so that the cable plugs in the back behind the head unit and the connecting cable is behind the mount so no wires are showing check soundman.com out

It's just a USB cable that is connected from the back instead of the front. But for the back it's a cable that's about a foot long. What I did is I purchased a Mounting Kit-FMK550 for 1995-2011 Ford/Lincoln/Mazda/Metcury. You get the one that works for you. And I used my utility nife to make hole in the back of the din that goes under the radio bigger and slipped the USB cable through there. Works great I can charge my phone and run pandora and I just plug it in and push the phone into the cubby/ din whatever you call it.

There is a USB cable attached to the back of the system. I believe it is around 1.5 - 2 feet long (maybe more it has been some time since I had mine out) and is easily routed to most places around the drivers area. If you wanted it "mounted" you would need a flush mount USB attachment or something. PAC USBCBL 6-Feet USB Cable with Mounting Bracket

I'm not a techie in any way, but I have the problem with my computer's front USB port only for my external hard drive (the computer doesn't even recognize something's plugged in). When I plug into the back ports, it works fine. A pain, but it works.

6 Standard USB's (4 front & 2 rear), 4 USB 3's (2 rear a & 2 Top). I can't imagine using all of these.However I use 1 rear USB for wireless keyboard/mouse dongle. and One USB3 on top for my 2 TB external hard drive for backing up my critical files. Hope this helps.

The USB port acts as a print server for any usb printer. You can't add an external hard disk to this unit

I don't know about questions 2 & 3, but as for question 1, no, the usb port is just for decoration apparently. I could not get a usb network attached drive to work, so called customer support. They said that this function does not work despite the claims that it is marketed with and even the description in the manual and on the box. They would not even say when or if there will be a firmware fix. Would suggest another brand.

It seems like a mini-usb, but I am not sure if it is a standard. I have a pile of the smallish usb cables that all seem unique. I have wondered why there isn't a standard. Sorry I can't be more accurate.

I check in the entire manual and there is no mention of the USB Port Version. Sorry.

The manual is very clear on this. The rear USB port lights green when 80% to 100% charge. It lights blue when 50% to 79% charge. It lights red when 20% to 49%. Below 20% the rear USB port flashes red.

There are 2 USB 3.0 ports & 4 USB 2.0 ports at rear; while at front there are 2 USB 2.0 ports on my model

I have this HDTV and just looked around and didn't see any USB connection on the side or rear. There is a service port that looks similar to a USB input on the back, but as far as I can tell its not a USB connection.

Sorry, I have no idea what you are asking me about, all I can tell you is that this drive works with a USB port, other than that, I can't help you :(

There is only 1 5.1 port on back I haven't tried the USB on front. I use 5.1 for desktop and 2.1 rear for laptop.

Marty, I know what a USB is...and it does not connect via USB. The others you mention are not familiar to me, so I'll not comment on those.

This is USB3. My guess is you cannot do the daisy chain. Use a USB hub instead.(rear panel connectors: 1 power and 1 USB. Nothing more).

Well, which is it? This question is critical. Can someone from WD weigh in? It's almost inconceivable you can't direct attach this to a computer via USB.

There are two USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0. Also, that USB 3.0 goes thru thru the case and out the back of your case to connect to the rear panel of your motherboard

I ordered a portable external hard drive that uses a USB. Do not know what you a referring to.
