How do you check if a laptop has an internal USB hub?
Guitardudematt
IF you download the free program HWiNFO32, when you open it go under
"your" PC > ports > USB > Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller > Port 1 / Port 2
here you can find out if you have a free internal slot i recommend filling up your external ports so it does not show up as empty.
you will be able to find the number of ports you computer has by clicking the start button right clocking on my computer > manage this opens a windows then device manager > universal Serial Bus controllers an this should list you USB hubs and there controllers
Hope this helps
ps. sorry for bad spelling

Do you need a USB PCMCIA and a USB 2.0 hub if you want to connect an external hard drive to a laptop?
If one's laptop already has a USB port, a USB 2.0 PCMCIA card and hub are not necessary, as all USB devices can work in any USB port albeit sometimes at a lower speed . However, for maximum speed, if USB 2.0 is not available on the laptop, the USB 2.0 PCMCIA Card can be installed. All you need is a hub and that's assuming that you don't have a spare USB port on your system. If all your USB ports are used, simply attach 1 or more items to the new hub and attach the hub to the resultant free port. I recommend that you choose a hub with 4 or more ports - to allow for future upgrades or additions. Hope this helps. Canis I would recommend a powered hub if you are connecting to a laptop.
