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!"
There's no PS3 Slim either.
That type of response usually comes under a standard "we do not comment on rumours and specualtion" retort. A vocalised "NO" is a different beast. I might say 'yeah right' if it came from a European mouthpiece, but from Reggie it probably means something.
The "speculation and rumors" line is always from PR types in mass emails. It's never quoted from the mouths of the execs.
