Now that my new 250G Seagate is getting full of copies of copies of
copies, I have just got a 500G Maxtor as well.
However they each (as well as my Brother MFC 260C Multi-function
printer/fax/copier) want to be connected to the BACK of my laptop, and
they regard connection with the FRONT or via a USB hub as dangerous.
I have a fairly standard hub but understand from something I have read,
that it may need to be a POWERED hub to overcome this danger.
Would appreciate any helpful coments please (or even derogatory)
