Hi, I just recently purchased the Dell XPS 13, however a small problem is the lack of USB ports. There are only 2 available. I am thinking of getting a USB hub, but I am concerned that my devices would be nerfed from the decreased amount of bandwidth. Obviously, an external hard drive would need its independent USB port if you don't want to slow down speeds, but what about other devices? Mouse, keyboard, printer, usb soundcard, etc.? Because these are all connected through one usb port (and split through a hub) would they become less effective? Would I have data loss?
How much of the bandwidth do these devices use? Is there a tool/program that can test how much actual data is transferred through USB on a particular device?
