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!"
PCMCIA....
Why don't they make PCMCIA 8gig (or bigger) flash drives?
That way you could load windows onto that and your system would boot instantly.
Most people have at least 1 or 2 empty PCMCIA bays in their laptops not getting any use.
'cause flash isn't "instant boot", nor is it unlimited rewrites. Nor cheap as a HD.
