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 am the crazy guy who is mentioned in the original entry. The flight over was in business and back in first after spending an hour in Frankfurt. I had just enough time there for a glass of OJ and a shower.
I have flown in other carrier's sliding board seats (4-8 degree down slope) and was never comfortable in them. They are correct in saying "At United, the world is truly, truly flat".
In the photo gallery mentioned above you see me checking in the box of custom printed m&ms that I gave out to the first and business passengers. Also you see pics of me in the custom printed polo shirt I had made up.
