Re: any recommendations on a usb hub for my comput
As LightChucker stated....Belkin is a reputable brand. My only other advice is to get one that has an external power supply specifically for the usb hub itself. USB ports actually supply power to the devices which are plugged into them which can add to your power supply's load..depending on the device/devices already plugged in it could be significant. Also, and generally causes the most problems is insufficient power to the usb device could cause that device to not function properly. This is because you plug a usb hub into one port...that one port now has to supply power to multiple devices plugged into the hub. These things being the case, an externally powered usb hub would always be able to supply any devices plugged into it with adequate power.
