USB port usage?

Just making sure I’m not missing something... displays come with 3 USB ports (one in the harness, two on the back of the display).
Displays will only support one memory stick at a time (which holds charts, checklists, and software updates), right? So that’s one port.
Each screen has a wifi adapter (for redundancy). That’s the second port.
What does that leave the third port for, besides a video adapter? Anything else planned at this time?

I put a pair of two-port panel mount adapters (one for each display) to pull the rear-mounted ports to the front. Should I have bothered with dual units? Or am I just going to have an empty spot since I have no need for the video adapter?

I'm only using 2 of the 3 ports. The hard wired port is mounted to the panel on each side. I keep a USB stick in each (not yet IFR), primarily for screen shot capability. One is pulled each cycle for map updates.
