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 is still no direct benefit to the consumers that I can see. Unless Malone can deliver full HDTV (and not HDlite) then he isn't doing me any good. Additionally, unless he is willing to implement a 100% lease-plan for the hd dvr instead of the $200-500 up-front bribe to lease it, then its again on the losing side to this consumer's hd dvr options.
