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!"
Keep in mind that Sony spends millions to come up with ways to stop people from ripping music onto MP3s so that they can't play the songs on the Sony Walkman-MP3 players that they sell. They came up with the root-kit that can be disabled by holding down the left-shift key. The previous one was disabled by circling the metal ring on the outside of the CD with a permanent marker.
