More USB ports, please

[zululami]

I have a small samsung laptop and it only has three usb ports and I need at least six.

i need three more ports, how do I add these without much clutter around my laptop...

4 port USB hubs are like R100 or less. But they aren't for powering portable HDDs etc.

Flash drives, kb's/mouses, printer, is what you want plugged in.

Either a PCMCIA USB Card or a USB Hub ( Powered if you plan on using Harddrives or more than a few ports at once on the Hub )
