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!"
What I want. A single box that combines:-
- WRT54G, wifi router, Linux edition
- NSL-2, Cheap and Cheerful NAS box
- 3.5" drive enclosure
It's going to need a bit more poke and a bit more memory but that's easy in 2007, right? With no drive, this shouldn't cost more than $100, maybe $150. And running Linux, porting all those BT and other utilities should be a snap.
