I can see this really paying off when (for whatever reason) having to use an external device as your main hard drive.USB 3.0 introduces full duplex data transfer.

Thanks for that, Checker. Never mind the language barrier, Google is my friend.
But Germany, that's like another planet, even if we're both part of the EU (e.g., I was able to locate one of the best rated hubs from the Idealo.de listing, the Logilink Mini 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub at http://www.ebay.es/itm/400582106429; the catch? Only sold to Germany and Austria...).
