I might needs someone to point me towards a USB hub which supports external
HDs.  I have seen in past on youtube where someone used a bunch of thumb
drives plugged into a hub as a RAID device for their pi, so I know that you
can use externals with a hub if you have the right hub.

The last time I tried my hub and my pi in that manner, the pi did not seem
to be able to mount (or even find) the external storage device that was
plugged into the hub.  I am guessing the hub maybe was not meant for that.
As it is a powered hub, you would think it would work.  It works just fine
with the keyboard and mouse plugged into it, though. :)
