Hallo All,I got tired of unplugging something when I needed to use
Due to lack of USB connectors, I'm thinking about buying
an USB hub.
Questions:
Which brand? [The most easily availale here are Belkin,
Sitecom and Trust].
How many ports? [I there any reason not to buy a 7 port
one]?
With or without power supply?
Any other remarks are also welcome, of course :)
something else, so I knew it was time to go beyond the two
built in USB ports my computer has.
But as I was waiting for a hub to go on sale, I likely would
have bought the cheapest when it went on sale, I came across
a computer lying on the sidewalk waiting for the garbage truck.
The computer wasn't worth mentioning, but it did have a USB card
in it. Brought it home, and it worked fine. Gave me four more
USB ports, and I think a fifth for internal use (I've never tried it).
Even said "USB 2.0" on it so I'm assuming it is indeed as fast
as I can get.
Well I use the "internal" port at the front. Got me a
extension usb-cable , and drilled a couple of holes into a
slot-cover, cut a opening with a fine saw to size stuck the
USB-Plug into it, and used some square cover I had laying
around. So I can use all 5 Ports on this card, but I had to
buy it. :-) The cable is fitted inside the PC, a home-build
liquid-cooled silent PC.
