ok..
so i setup this really sweet looking laptop i salvaged for my sister its got great sound , a 7.1 sound card, and a digital/cam tuner. she is off to the races. But a caveat...
im looking for a solution to a aesthetics issue mainly.
She had a crash 2 weeks ago and it fried the internal drive so i added a tiny iomega brushed aluminum usb drive, it doesn't require a Y-Cable however the only real way to stop frequent slowdowns after hours of use is to make this option-able.
Connected to the dell d620 laptop on the far right corner is a black JBL speaker that is bus powered and the black brushed aluminum usb 2.0 backup drive.
As it stands right now the drive is connected via a 6 ft standard 28 gauge mini usb to usb 2.0 cord. And its literally resting inside of the opened DVD-RW drive.
The setup is actually very astute the way it is now, however i would like to get a circuit breaker for other usb peripherals possibly wireless and with no hanging wires to shut them down when not in use.
I would also eventually ofcoars like to close up that drive and get some kind of extender stand (maybe a hard capped usb hub?) that is raised for the drive to sink in to.
Spent the better part of the day looking for a simple USB Female to USB Male wireless circuit breaker without any luck. You would think that someone would have put out something like this yet ? but nope.
Anyways im open to all ideas, the goal now is to either find a Y-Cable with a usb pass through port and on/off switch or a hub/breaker combo that can do that job for it.
Kind regards,
