I just bought a new PC, based on Lenovo Legion gaming desktop. It comes with 2 USB port in the front, 4 regular USB port in the back + 1 USB-C port. That’s a total of 7 USB slots.

It’s been like 2 decades that every possible hardware device comes with an USB interface. Keyboard, mouse, joystick, hard-drive, memory stick, headset, webcam, spot/photo camera, and many others.

Of course it’s my fault, I should have thought about USB connectors when shopping for a new PC and check before buying. but seriously, 7 USB slots is so few compared to all the device I have using USB

      I don’t know why. Works perfectly fine

        Because there’s no reason not to want them on an internal drive but there’s good reasons not to want them on an external drive 🤷

        Faster transfer speed and lower CPU usage are the main points but reliability too as you’re adding one more interface in the way.

            They said they don’t know why it seems odd and I explained why. I’m not the one who mentions that USB stuff accumulates quickly while using hardware in a suboptimal way… They could have at least two free ports just by opening their computer case and moving their drives inside…
