2) when connected the hub with pc, it brings 5 drives (such as g: h: i: j: k:), but you donot know which drive is associated with which card slot.
from nomad_aji from Hatfield, PA, clickfrom.buy.com
i moved my computer around and now it is on the floor, making the access to the memory slots difficult.
from www.pcmall.com

the main usb hub inputs on the back are easily accessible, and the flash drive inputs and card reader slots on the front are handy (although i have not tested them).
from www.pcmall.com
the memory card slots: sd, cf, ms, mmc.

the features listed a "flash drive" which turned out to be a flash drive slot on the front of the unit which is convenient but the listing did not say "flash drive slot".
from GRR from green bay, wi, clickfrom.buy.com
i did have a minor issue with the front thumb drive slot not working, but that could either be a bum thumbdrive, or an issue not being able to share a thumbdrive over the network.
from www.amazon.com
the dedicated front slot for flashdrives is extremely handy---the data speeds are the greatest i've seen from a hub.
