Default Lightning damage to USB drives?

It would be safer to put the flash drive on a powered USB hub.



Just wondering Rod, how'd you come to that conclusion? More than likely
the usb hub will be plugged into the same electrical source as the PC and
therefore also be effected by the by the power surge. Would it not?
