no, there are other ways to do things, but I like this way because it's cheap. If I had$$ I'd buy a 'My Book World Edition 1TB Network Drive'. Not to mention extra mass storage is handy when you don't have wifi acess (again too cheap to have a data plan).

This one looks about the length I want too (it's short)
That looks like a winner t3h! I have a non-otg cable like that, It's nice that you don't have flash drives hanging off the usb port or 3' of cable.

FYI, if anyone cares.
I tried a USB docking station w/external power. The USB hub worked fine with USB mass storage. The PS2 mouse and keyboard did not. Neither did the USB keyboard through the PS2 connector.
