My drives are running off of connections straight to the motherboard.  I use
the front panel connections for the thumbdrives; I was just testing their
speed and it's the same regardless of whether I use the hub or the
motherboard.  I don't have enough external drives to need a NAS (ie, only 1
3.5" and 1 2.5".  I've got enough space internally for 2 more 3.5" and 2
more 2.5" drives any way.  I just went external for the ones I use out of
convenience.
