Q: about using a USB hub with a soundcard, controller, hard drive, mouse combination?
I have a PC Laptop, and it only has 3 USB ports on it.
For my set up, I use a Vextax VCI-100, a Native Instruments Audio 2DJ, and a mouse. Since my music library has grown, I've run out of space on my internal hard drive, so I have to use an external...Except my question is this:
Out of the VCI, the Audio 2DJ, the Mouse, and the Hard Drive, which two items should I run off the hub? I assume 1 of them should DEFINITELY be the mouse, but what else?
Between the VCI, Audio 2DJ, and Hard Drive, I would assume all of them would benefit from direct connectivity.
Anyone have any input on this?
Also, is there a different with USB hubs? Which one should I get? Which one should I steer clear from? Is there anything about USB hubs that I should know?
I've never used a USB hub and I know little about them...So I'm also wondering if there's anything more to it than just allowing more USB ports...
