My actual concern about using hubs was the potential power draw and its effect on the unit.
We've all had personal experience or known someonw who's plugged a device into a keyboard or underpowered hub, like a front usb port on some computers & the device wouldn't work.
I could have just seen the Wii powering down if too many devices were chained to the hub. USB may be a universal standard but there is only a max power draw standard and not a universal minimum power standard`

Well for a (potential) external HD, it will likely have a discreet power supply, and if you have a concern about power draw (I agree about the inconsistency with power consumption of devices) - just purchase a powered hub.

I've been chuckling at the Wii migrating from this small, slick design to this Frankenstein's monster with adapters, hubs, HD's and all sorts of things hanging off it :lol:
