Despite the huge availability of devices that can be connected to a computer (photo camera, pen drives, external hard disks, printers, flash memory cards, etc), even high end mainboards can show the lack of connectors.
The easier solution is buy a dedicated hardware (there are plenty available and most are very cheap) to increase the number of connectors available.
Other than a PCI (or PCI-e) card to be installed internally on the mainboard, the most common solution is an external hub, easier to install, and no driver installation is needed in most of cases.
A very interesting hub has been reviewed today at Dragon Steel Mods. I can hear you: what's so interesting on an external hub? Well, the one reviewed today is not a simple USB hub, but it has also SATA and eSATA ports available.
According to the review:
"each USB Port is a separate LED that lets you view more convenient working conditions of each port conveniently, and the hub supports up to 127 USB Devices"
Amazing, isn't it? And also the price is very interesting: US$32.99. The complete review can be found here.
