Hey all, just wondering to all the iMac users, is 4 USB ports enough ? If not, does anyone have a USB hub that they recommend (USB 3.0) ?
Thanks in advance

That's between 5-7 devices. I would say 4 is downright ridiculous in 2012.
I don't have a hub to recommend, but I know my dad uses a mouse, keyboard, printer, scanner, time machine drive, and sometimes uses a USB drive or iPod too.

lets face it 4 is too many? Most devices if data should be FW, & the rest wifi
If I understood right, you are saying that 4 is enough because you should use firewire and wifi instead?
If so, well here is why I need more than 4 USB, I won't use firewire as it is slowly disapearing.
Wacom Tablet
CF Card reader
2 External HD
1 External Bluray
Mechanical Wired Keyboard
Wired mouse (I just prefer it)
That's already 7, and I always need 1 or 2 free to plug in USB keys once in a while or plug in the gamepad for gaming.
Yeah, having to unplug devices is really not fun. We need four more and a HDMI port. Just put it on the left side next to the lonely power which you can't even see anyway.
USB hub takes up space, money.

Do any hubs work with Mac, or is there certain ones only ?
Thanks
From a technical standpoint, a 3.0 hub is a 3.0 hub. They all will work with anything with a USB 2 or 3 port. No drivers are required so compatibility isn't an issue. The difference is build quality.
