This was the most shocking to me. I learned that the left and right side ports run through different buses, but each side does not have enough capacity to supply both ports at full speed. This mean I had to buy long USB cable to run to the other side of my Macbook in order to supply 3 monitors. I have a port just sitting unused.
Also, there seems to be a problem with left-side USB ports when charging. They cause the system to overheat (or at least think it's overheating).
