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!"
I have both XP and Vista installed at work and at home. Vista is a good OS, from what ive seen so far. You can argue all you want but i am in IT and have not had hardly any trouble fixing the vista machines that ive encountered, somewhere between 10-15. Whether ppl like it or not you cant stay on the same OS for ever, hell they are already talking about Windows 7 the next OS after Vista, its name will be Vienna though. My point is turn off off user control, have decent AV software (i use nod32 and have not have 1 virus in a year since i started using it) do windows updates and the most important thing is DONT BE AN IDIOT because if your to dumb to use a computer, which many of the ppl i encounter daily are, then no one can really help you and your computer will likely always have problems because of USER ERROR, RUNNING OUT OF MEMORY.
