USB Hubs

[thebassoonist]

I am looking to buy a USB hub and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. I'd be hooking up my iPods, printer, camera, and one of my external hard drives (that I use to back up my computer with Time Machine). I've seen a few that have seven slots for usb cables and many that are 2.0. I'd like one that is relatively fast (this is USB and not FireWire).

Thanks!

I got this one and it works great. It is weighted so it won't move around like other hubs.

Cool! I saw that one Amazon a while ago, and I definitely like that it is weighted. Nice.

Did you see Belkin's?

Hi -

I have the Belkin 7-port. It has 2 ports on top for the ones you use
most often. It's not very heavy, but I only occasionally use the 2
ports on top, so it doesn't matter to me how heavy it is.

And it's powered, which is key.

Hope this helps . . .
