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.

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.

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
