a good usb hub - recomendations?

Post by D DAS » Tue Jul 25, 2006 7:06 am

aloha

i need a new usb hub to run my controllers through. i have a uc33e, a trigger finger, and a microcontrol. i had a belkin 4 port usb hub that just took a dump on me. any reccomendations for a good reliable new one?

is running these 3 controllers through this port into my computer, plus having my keyboard and a usb fasttrack to much usb action for my puter or does it not matter? plus i have a firewireaudiophile plugged in.

thanks

even it crashed on you, get a new Belkin. (powered)

anything elese is going to be worse. just my experience. maybee you just picked an unluckky monday model. that always can happen.

My Belkin caused me nothing but grief. I'm done with usb hubs.

Fortunately I have three ports, and so I just make it between my audio interface, midi keyboard and mouse. Who needs a printer anyway? =)

Works great here.

There's a 4-port version, too.

I'll second hambone's recommendation - I've got the 4-port and love it.

I have the 7 port. Better than Belkin believe me.

Have had this one for quite a while. Very good and nearly indestructible. (Powered as well)
