Nice find Sonny, one warning,

Quote:
4. Use The External Drive's Controller to Connect Other Peripherals via USB
First off this doesn't always work, so be prepared for that. Second, I have seen some people try to connect full sized DVDROM or hard drives to external adapters that are powered by the USB bus. This can overload the USB power supply and short out the USB, and sometimes the entire motherboard.
