Description

The current front panel one is USB 1.1, which makes using it a royal pain (~3 seconds delay every time the USB is touched). USB 2 (or 3) hub should alleviate this.

For bonus points, figure out how to replace the cabinet's ones (not just like USB cords or w/e).

Post-requisites: change `etc/fstab` to the new hub numbers.

Research direction

Start by inspecting etc/fstab and documenting the current hub numbers. Identify a compatible USB 2 or USB 3 hub, determine whether the cabinet-mounted hubs can be replaced, then update etc/fstab for the new hub numbers. Done means the replacement is installed and USB access no longer has the reported delay.
