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!"
First off, the "gay" comments are not to be taken literally but rather as an expression. For example, "That lamp is ugly" which nowadays people say "That lamp is gay", it ultimately refers to the same thing. The word "gay", in this context, does not mean homosexual but it takes on a new meaning, it refers to something negative. If you needed an explanation for this then you need to live life some more, step away from your computer and go out in the real world some and just maybe you'll pick up on these colloquialisms. Good luck!
P.S. If you are so concerned about drives failing then maybe you should consider a firewire HDD. Cheaper, easily expandable and nothing is modified / lost in the process. You people are the most unproductive I have seen apart from my 4 year old cousin.

Of course, because being homosexual is something negative, right vlad? You're an idiot.

If only you could take your own advice. It's not a "colloquialism", it's a deragatory, homophibic remark made by an ignorant fool.

Once again, vlad, if you'd have bothered to read the article, you'd know that the author is specifically NOT concerned about drives failing. What he IS concerned with is not having to use an external drive with his system. You're so smart.
Okay you know what? Stop with that fucking shit already. I never mentioned anything about what the author is implying so stop fucking misquoting me already! Using an externa drive is not inconvenient enough to NEED to perform this modification, end of story! You will have to use the Superdrive externally anyways after the modification and although it is not used as often as the drive, it is still not worth the trouble. It is one of those things that surface every once in a while that don't deserve a second glance so drop this bullshit about me not reading the article already, it is perfectly clear in what it says!
