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!"
I dragged by Pioneer DV 717 player out of the attic the other day and the thing is enormous. It cost me £550 when I bought it to play DVDs nearly 9 years ago. It shows their Blu Ray prices aren't really out of line with their DVD offerings back in the day.
