          I think there's nothing wrong with elementary OS, the problem is with your Virtual Box instead. I am guessing your USB (not supported one) is USB 3 and the other one (old one) is USB 2. And you may don't have virtual box extension pack installed.

          What is abnormal to me is, you are supposed to get some error if you haven't installed that when you created the machine. Let me know the results.
