Hi David,<div><br></div><div> My impression is that the biggest hurdle is wether the USB hub is self-powered or not. even then some devices still want to be plugged into the computer. a powered hub would let you offload things like your keyboard, mouse, printer and scanner. Some even advertise that they give the same speed to all of the ports.</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I recall reading somewhere a few years ago that some USB hubs are not satisfactory for USB audio devices like microphones. It appears that some printers and other devices are equally sensitive to certain USB hubs.<br>
<br>
Since I am at the point of needing a USB hub, I thought I might as well get a good one that is unlikely to cause me any problems.<br>
<br>
So if anyone can recommend hubs do not suffer these problems, I would be grateful.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
