your points are helpful- i have order that hub you mentioned. it should help.

as andy said, maybe i have only 2.0 which i will confirm later today.. but then i can take this device to my next pc when i upgrade, in that scenario.. thanks again.
25112--You are welcome.
If your PC has USB v3 ports, not only will they show up in Device Manager as such .. but you can easily tell by looking at them.    USB v3 ports have blue connectors ... USB v2 are black.
