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!"
John... Exactly... we need "next-gen" DVD technology... not TOTALLY NEW DVD technology... HD-DVD is just the next-gen of DVD... Blu-Ray is not... if Blu-Ray does ever get the capacity up to 200GB like they claim possible then the format has a place in the PC market for data storage and backup... but WHY in the world would we ever need that kind of space for HD movies? My DirecTV HD Tivo box has a 250 GB Hard Drive and it can store 20 hours of HD content... we need an optical format that can hold 4-5 hours at the MOST after you include extras... HD-DVD can easily do that and it is cheaper all around... Blu-Ray just doesn't make sense for single HD movies.
