Ultra Stackables: Your Every External Solution

Introduction

Many companies offer external solutions for most everything you can think of or need. With hundreds of thousands of different hard drive enclosures out there, and equally as many card readers and usb hubs, why should we care about one more? Because, my technology loving friends, we will always need one more, but more importantly, the Ultra Stackables line is special. Instead of having a cluttered mess of external hard drives and an ugly usb hub, and a card reader maybe sticking out of one of these usb ports if you aren't lucky enough to have one integrated into your computer, why not own them all, (or just one, whatever your individual needs are) and have them look smart, be practical, and take up almost no space (comparatively)? Consisting of 5 different pieces, with the ability to add or subtract as many as you wish/need, all stacking perfectly on top of each other (assuming you didn't figure that out from the name), and managing to look smart and tidy.

Before going into more detail, let's take a glance at the specs of each individual piece of the Ultra Stacables. Each piece can either plug directly into the wall for power, or into the power supply part which supplies power for all devices, limiting the wires and wall outlets used.
