so far, I haven't seen an actual USB3 hub, but there is a pc kit that gives you
one back port, and 4 front ports by using an unused drive bay. all ports are
usb3.
unfortunately, I can't remember make or model, sorry.

Hi George
I assume there are usb3 hubs out there or I’ll be continually grovelling to
plug in or pull out from the back of the tower. LOL
Many thanks for the info.

Hi Roger,
First, check if the devices using USB3 are backward compatible with USB2.
However, in an ideal world, if it’s a desktop, and you have a free expansion
slot, the best option is to go for a USB3 expansion card with 3 or even 4 USB3
ports. They are not arm and a leg money.
George.

Hi All
more and more of the commercial posts I receive are pushing USB 3.0 goods.
I’m aware that I need to have some form of conversion on my computer to use
these (well I think I do) but what is it I need? A simple plug in adaptor or
something more complex such as a wired in unit in my tower? Also is it really
necessary to change?
Many thanks
Roger
