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

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.
