USB Hubs?

[Pavey]

Has anyone got any recommendations on one to get? Are they all much of a muchness?

I've used a ebuyer extra value one for about four years with no trouble

Much of a muchness really, you are better off getting one with external power though, as they will give you less troubles with things connected.

I was wondering about that. Guess i'll get a powered one.

Yeah, external power is a must. Buy one without and you'll probably regret it later.

A lot of devices with higher power draw like printers, cameras, iPods and suchlike often don't work properly from a non-powered hub.

I think its a powered Kensington one I have which is shaped like a football cut in half. 9 ports and powered, excellent piece of kit.

I have this one:

Pretty decent, 5 ports hidden at back of unit and 2 easy access ports for mem sticks

Powered of course!

I got one that fits into a 3.5" bay inside my tower, it has a PCI card that comes with it and a wire plugs from the front panel to the PCI card. Has worked perfectly all these years, better than another external box IMO.
