[ale] I need one of these

Anything BUT RAID.  I've had too many problems with bad USB connections.

One system is from 2010 and the other from 2016. Lots-o-issues with normal USB storage.

OTOH, for someone who always picks up the free Microcenter flash drives, this might be useful for a very slow, iffy, scratch area.

I was thinking more about a wall of cheap monitors for the Superbowl. Get 10 friends to bring over their 24" 1080p monitors to build the wall. Your own jumbo-tron.

They do sell multi-port, powered, USB3 hubs. I have a 7-port one, but use only 4 ports most of the time.  Some devices really dislike going through hubs, like webcams hate it.

Is the meeting tonight on Jitsi?
