I think that I need to do some tidying up around my desk and with this in mind I think that a USB Hub would help.
My machine runs USB 2 but I gather that USB 3 is backwards compatible and so I would like to purchase a USB 3 hub. Who knows, I may buy a more up-to-date pc at some stage. I'm not sure what is involved in making my current pc into a USB 3 unit or even if it would be worthwhile.
I think that I will only need a 4 or 6 way hub and am wondering if someone could recommend a good make/model for me.
Whilst having a live thread... again, I have a Seagate Freeagent Desktop Hard Drive that I can't see anywhere when it is connected. The active light is showing but there is no whirring sound. I have tried different USB slots and cables without any joy. Can I assume that it has died?
Many many thanks again to all involved in helping when I ask my questions. It really is very much appreciated.
