“i eventually got a brand new laptop with a lone USB 3.0 port. I’m now taking a look at getting a USB 3.0 hub with an influence adapter so i will use either one of my USB 3.0 hard drives at faster speeds. I’ve read a number of horror stories where some hubs either don’t include power adapters — and therefore the portable drives don’t work with them properly — or they’re designed poorly which ends up 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!”
