    Hey everyone,

    I'm loving the AGA but I have a small problem...I use a lot of USB devices and the four ports on the back of the AGA aren't really enough. Has anyone tried to connect a USB 3.0 Hub to the AGA? Is there any loss of speed/data, glitches, etc? Is the AGA's USB hub even USB 3.0? I'm specifically looking at a powered USB 3.0 hub so I'm not worried about the AGA supplying power.

    Thanks, guys.

    I am using an USB hub connected to the AGA, works flawlessly in my case, but I have only stuff like a keyboard, mouse, xbox controller etc connected to it, Harddrives are directly conencted to the AGA in my case.
