I have seen this question on here a couple of times but the thread was never responded to. So, I will go ahead and ask nicely for any advice on a usb hub.

I have the mac mini and I just need a couple extra usb ports. Any advice or good reviews would be much appreciated. Thanks for everyone reading and actually responding.

I bought a Targus mini USB hub from Office Depot for my Powerbook. I've been using it since last June with no problems with an external hard disk.

I have a great Belkin hub--the one with 5 USB 2 ports on the back and 2 more vertically oriented ones for flash drives or iPod shuffles. It works great and I've seen it at newegg for like $35. So, it's like paying for a shuffle dock, but getting 6 more USB ports.

Do you have a link or a model number?
