One of the limitations on notebooks is the lack of USB ports in proportion to the number of devices we would like to hook up. An easy remedy these days is the USB Hub, but YD won’t be YD if we showcased run-of-the-mill solutions! So here’s the Infinite USB – an alternative plug on devices that kinda acts like a tag team. The design speaks for itself, so no point elaborating, however what we can do is talk about its effectiveness and limitations. For starters I don’t think we may be able to tag too many devices one behind the other. I reckon max 3 or 4 before the tag starts to look awkward, but the color coding on plugs will make it easy to identify which plug belongs to which device.
What do you think?

get hard drives which get power externally. its less portable but would allow you to use a usb hub.Carl Smart wrote:how many can you put in a sequence before the power starts being too low to actually power stuff properly? From my experience sound cards and hard drives don't really co-operate with hubs...
pretty good solution for the fact that Macbooks simply don't have enough ports. Even the (expensive) desktop iMac only has a few ports, which are completely full at home. Major downside on Mac.
