My motherboard came with this esata thing.  It has to esata ports that you plug into your sata ports on your motherboard.  Patio, I will trade it with you for that 500gb hard drive

    Hi there,

    I only have 4 USB ports on the PC.  Two have connections, first I have my printer connected and then I have my wireless control for my sound system.  The other two I only use for connecting my external H/D and mp3 player as and when....

    Regards,
    MM  :)

    I don't get it- he can ship cables, but when it comes to simple paper certificates it can't be done...

    I'm using a laptop with 3 USB ports. They're currently connected to a mouse, an external harddrive and a cooling fan with another USB port for misc. items like thumb-drives, an external floppy drive, a lamp etc.

      Try daisy chaining 127 devices and see what happens.

      No wait, try that with 27 devices.

      Good luck.

        Heck, 4 devices on a single unpowered hub is enough to shut it down. It would only work if you chained about 30 4-port hubs together and powered them all.

          Depending upon the current usage of each device, one USB port can support up to 500ma of current and an average flash drive uses about 100ma

          This sounds as realistic as MS's minimum XP requirements.....

          As an aside, I'm not sure about later versions, but Windows 2K simply can't use hubs daisy chained after a 5th one. (or maybe it was the fifth one that didn't work?).

          In any case, if you have that many hubs, you probably have too many USB devices anyway.
