Finally got an external 1tb drive for my lap top. Got that plugged in the same USB Hub as my 3d printer, mouse, speed pad, game pad, Arduino, DSLR, Iphone and I think a couple more things buried under the crap on my desk. It's a nice HUB, powered with 12 ports, it was pretty cheap too.

Well since I do a lot of 3d design work, some for commercial production, I've been getting more and more paranoid about losing all my data, which I have lost data in the past (I thought RAID 5's weren't supposed to do that!), so I finally got a drive.

So right now I'm running a system backup, a file history backup, and downloading 40 movies and 100+ images from my DSLR.

I'm pretty sure my USB controller is about to revolt.
