i need to buy a ex hd soon..and it got me thinking..
imac only has 3 usb ports on the back (2 on the keyboard, but i dont like to use them because the cords get in the way from how my desk is set up)..so i may need to purchase a USB hub.
if i were to purchase a hub that had 3 ports..that would definately be plenty. but if i had ..say..3 ex hard drives, an ipod, my mouse,..and whatever else connected AT ALL TIMES..could that damage the computer ?
it just seems like a little much. anyone have experience with this?
now i probably won't have all of those connected at one time..but it's still nice to know.
