USB recomendations (for MBP)

[Mr.Bullitt]

I am looking to ditch my old PC desktop and now I need a good USB hub for connecting all my external gear to my MBP.

So, I am looking for some recomendation on good USB hub.

The thing will just be on the floor behind my desk, so design/looks it not really a requirement.

I will for sure need minimum 4 ports for:

Keyboard
Mouse
Webcam
card reader (buildt into Dell monitor)

Possible external powered 3.5" USB disk.

Right now at the top of my list is the Kensington Dome USB hub - it has 7 ports and in alu mac colours. It is supposed to be heavy too, so that it will not skid around.


I am of cause open to hearing other suggestions.

I've used D-Links powered 7-port hub with no problems. Plugged into it is:

• Cable to printer
• Cable to USB Mixer
• iPod USB Cable for iPhone
• Receiver for Logitech MX Revolution
• USB to Mini-USB for Camera

Occasionally I'll put a flash drive in there as well with no problems.

I use this hub and it works great, never had a problem with it
