I need a USB hub that can power about a dozen devices...

[jrm27]

Hi all,

I am in need of more USB connectivity for my imac. I think I'd like to be able to have about 12 plugs (or more). Between external hard drives, digital cameras, ipads, iphones, printers, external dvd drives, etc... I'm outta space.

Is there a good solution out there? Most everything I see at my local stores are strips that only have four or so. I'd like it if the hub could power devices as well. That way I could be charging multiple iDevices. Thanks!

Eh?

I may not be ideal, but you could get a multiple hubs and daisy chain them together. Some are even designed to be stacked on top of each other for this specific purpose.

I have a Belkin 7 port hub and all ports are in use. For the occasional extra device, I unplug something and plug in the new one. My printer and 1 external hard drive are plugged into a power strip. Don't think I've ever seen a USB hub that also has power strip capabilities also. Can you plug another hub into another?

Really? Connect up to 12 USB devices then you'll suffer from super low bus speed.

I have a 10 port one from Atomik Tech (cheapo from amazon) and it serves the purpose for my other comp.
