Thanks Joe, short cables, drives will just be foot from mini; I could use the cables i already have with adaptor?
Do you have a link?

Or.... is this worth it necessary -- if I have a couple of ports on my 10 port usb type A hub open -- so Is better, adapter direct to to mini or just use the old hub... always best to not put hub in mix correct? or does the adapter complexity here, cancel that theory out?
