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!"
Hey Raelyn, ever heard of offloading your personal data before having your notebook serviced? It's been common sense for the last decade, but i guess you were away on business.
MARKUS,
Hey buddy, ever think of reading the ARTICLE before posting an ass of a comment? How "exactly" was she supposed to offload her data with a BROKEN POWER SWITCH....
la dee da
DUNCAN
Yea, i guess you're right...
But you should make sure you back up your data before you have that intermittent CAPSLOCK problem serviced.
blah blu blee
Markus, your attempt at comeback is sheer fail. Try a comedy workshop.

You posted five comments to this story alone, try getting a job.
Hi Markus, time to find some new insults, O Hypocritical One. Mmkay? Try makemefunny.com or something.
He got you there fahnboi! And you're now up to 9..
I agree with Homeboy. If you have data that is so secure and/or personal, do not ever, I repeat EVER trust a company with it. Remove the HDD first.
I'm not saying this lady doesn't deserve her 54 Million dollars for the sake of what she went through, but the data loss/identity theft part could have been prevented. Of course, that would've required she pay best buy ANOTHER $50 fee just to remove the HDD. Or, did they raise their prices... [BB rips people off for simple stuff like installing RAM, so I'm just venting here]
Guess this one's 10. Guess he's "got me" but at least I RTFA.
Come on guys... your totally heartless!
"After being informed of the potential for identity theft, Campbell filed the multimillion-dollar suit,"
So... How does backing up your data protect you from your laptop coming up missing = identity theft?
@Homeboy
"This is nothing but a stupid bitch who doesn't seem to understand that the retailers are not responsible for data loss with a warranty service."
Data loss, e.g. Best Buy employees were working on the laptop and data on the harddrive was lost in some way before the customer return for their laptop or; Best Buy employees were working on the laptop and then *POOF* both data and laptop got lost in some way before the customer return for their laptop?
Best Buy/the Retailers must be responsible in some way for this lost hardware and or lost data, or no?
