In fact, they're not. Yes, they all have 5v, that is a standard for USB ports, but they do not provide all the same amount of current. A typical port will send 1000 mA, but many laptops, in order to drain less battery juice, has less current than that. And it happens that when you buy a custom case with some motherboards, there is not the same amount of current going to the front ports as there are at the rear of the computer.
