All, I'm continually frustrated by having only three USB sockets on the back of my iMac. I use one for the keyboard/mouse, one for the printer and one for a hub over the other side of the room that has a few music devices connected. So when I want to connect anything else locally, the printer has to be temporarily unplugged.
Now, I also feel the need to bolster up my back-up routine by using TIme Machine. So is anybody aware of a quiet (i.e. no fan), reliable, USB external hard disk drive that as well as sitting on my desk and doing the back up job will also give me a few spare USB sockets? Phil PS. Not keen on LaCie.
