Yup, because its still use 2.0 ...

..want to make a network storage ..iirc, there's an enclosure where you can connect via LAN, not sure though

Why, SXPS16 only got 3 ports meh?? Sorry because rarely care about this kind of things...

Can use USB hub what

Yup, the simplest and cheapest solution, but the thing is the PC/Laptop need to be ON 24/7 for it to be accessible
