(Think of old stereo splitters coming off the root hub and ending in those chassis ports.) If you put drives on two ports off the same root, you're reading from one into RAM, then stopping that and writing from RAM into the other. This can be quite slow.<br /><br />A better choice is to be sure to use different roots. The problem is that it is often very difficult to find out which are which.<br /><br />An easy solution is to add a separate USB card to a spare slot (they're cheap). That will give you 3 or 4 more ports and you can then hook up a drive to the chassis port and another to the expansion port and read/write simultaneously.<br /><br />If you have a good technician, he/she will always take time to balance your usb usage (for example, a drive, speakers and a mouse on one hub, another drive and a printer on a second, etc.<br /><br />Steve KalmanSteve Kalmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16429003813773159349noreply@blogger.com
