USB Hub Choices

[airbedman]

Hi,

I have just ordered a new iMac 20" and will need a USB2 hub. I have read horror stories of people buying them and them not working due to power supply issues.

Can anyone recommend a hub that I know will work well?

I would like at least 4 ports but the more the better.

Cheers.

IF hdds then buy "powered" hub.. if no hdds then use any hub but i like the MacSense brand hubs......

Probably an hdd, printer, camera, card reader to start with.

Use FW aka firewire for the hdd and use usb hub for camera,etc

i too need a hub for my 20" iMac, any suggestions. I don't plan on using a HDD cause i have a FW one, but will need it for my printer, Eye tv 250, ipod cable, memory card reader, and my memory stick thingy...

I highly recommend the D-Link 7 port hub. I only have a link to it for an English website, but the info is all the same:

(P.s. could someone please tell me how to link through a word instead of putting the whole thing in?)
