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!"
This is relevant to my interests.
@CRA1G
This is more relevant to my pocketbook - I'm a cheap bastard.
@CRA1G Let the stampede to KMART commence!

Simple math for the Fanboys
3 of these for the price of one ipad...i can leave one in my backpack for school, one in the living room, and one in the restroom for those...longer downloads...if ya know what i mean
@Fizzy But I would still rather the iPad.
@rmbrown09 "But i still rather the iPad" Translation - "I still rather be raped by Steve Jobs for 500 bucks then support an open OS."
@rmbrown09 meant to say "@Fizzy But I would still rather [poop on] the iPad."
@CRA1G
you're doing it wrong.
the iPad is a wonderful device...
for me to poop on
@Fizzy
A lot of mature posters I see. Considering this thing is selling at about 1/2 the cost it takes to make an ipad, I'm sure something has got to give.
I'm not saying that this is a bad product but you usually get what you pay for. For one you haven't even seen it run. Its screen could be the most unresponsive piece of crap you've ever seen and the battery could lasts a 1/2 hour. We already know it won't be upgradable to Android 3 because of the lack of 1ghz and thats suppose to be Android's tablet OS. So if you are looking for something cheap that is going to last you short term, this sounds like a good product but don't be an a$$ when somebody says they like the ipad better. They are in two different leagues.
@Altivec
Sorry to burst your bubble, but with the support of XDA, which I'm sure this will have, this thing won't become obsolete that quick!

Oh you're not bursting my bubble. I am just trying to keep it real before one of you guys make someone buy something by mistake.
If you have to hope that their will be a hack to put 3.0 on an underspeced machine, then its not equivalent to an ipad. Their is a reason google says that 3.0 requires 1Ghz and their is a reason why 3.0 is what they say is a minimum for tablets.
Again, I'm not saying that this is a bad product. I just don't want someone that played with an ipad believing that they are going to get the same experience with this. With all the F-yah dude, I can get 3 of them for the same price, someone might actually start to believe it.
@Altivec Google never said that was a requirement. A rumour which was denied.
@Fizzy I think it's somewhat futile to compare it to the iPad since the moment you consider battery life you'd realize that bringing the iPad with you everywhere would probably have resulted in better uptime than even 3 of these all over the place. $150 devices don't have great batteries. And for that matter it's hard for smaller companies to power optimize their devices as well as large firms like HTC.
@McPOW Yes. I'm also sick of all this random speculation about Gingerbread that people are taking as Gospel.
Anyone got a link to anything actually official from google... As far as I'm aware they've not even confirmed it'll be numbered 3.0
@Fizzy
Or you could carry two. One for the mugger.
