Hey guys, so awhile back when i bought my USB WiFi adapter(yes I know, "eww who uses WiFi") it came with a cradle so that i could use a USB from the back of my PC on my desk.(i find it handy) But what i was wondering if there is a cradle that supports USB 3.0? Because i have 2 on my mobo and it would be great if they were more accessible. Do you know where i could go about finding one of these? thanks :)

By cradle you mean a USB 3.0 Hub right?

 

You can easily find one on amazon.

 

I assume this is what you meant http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=usb%203.0%20hub&sprefix=usb+3%2Caps

That whole stigma against Wifi needs to end...Unless you're paying for exceptional internet, wifi and ethernet speeds will be quite similar. In-fact, my ethernet and wifi are exactly the same---18 down 9 up.

The best thing I could find is something like this: http://www.sharkoon.com/?q=en/content/usb30-extension-dock What do you think?

 

If that's not what you were looking for a USB 3 hub is what you want.

I agree with you. My ping is very good with my WiFi. i just left the disclaimer because people might get caught up on the whole WiFi thing.
