i note in passing this is another great use for USB hubs. recently when i
started having serious video camera problems, and having diagnosed a USB
socket on its way out, i ended up replacing a £20 hub with another £20
hub, instead of having to try, as you say, to repair a multi-hundred-euro
motherboard.
use a cheap hub for all your day-to-day connection and disconnection
needs, and save wear and tear on your fragile motherboard connectors.
