Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I finally got a new laptop with a lone USB 3.0 port. I'm now looking at getting a USB 3.0 hub with a power adapter so I can use both of my USB 3.0 hard drives at faster speeds. I've read lots of horror stories where some hubs either don't come with power adapters -- and as a consequence the portable drives don't work with them properly -- or they are designed poorly which results in USB 2.0 speeds. Or, the hard drives keep getting disconnected. Do your readers have any suggestions or experience using USB 3.0 hubs? Thanks!"
Wow... downgrade the CPU, drop the (practically useless) LCD and touchscreen, upgrade the video card to a 512MB X1600 and upgrade the HDD to mult-set-up totaling 700GB and you've got my cheaply upgraded 2.5 year old Dell... sans the BD of course.
So um... why does this cost $3000? The only thing even remotely top-of-the-line here is the BD drive and the CPU... what exactly is demanding the premium here? (and Dell haters, take a good look at the above machine before you make any comments about styling). ;-)
