Who's got a powered 7-port USB hub they're really enamored with? - Black - 06-20-2011 It's that time again--seems to happene about every 1-2 years-- one of my USB hubs is petering out (one of these cheapo things, FWIW ![]() ![]() Looking at my mess, I think ideally I'd like something weighted or something that clamps down to the desk somehow. I see a MacAlly and a Newer Tech that are good candidates but I thought I'd see if anyone here feels strongly about anything else. Thanks!

I've had mine for about 8 years with no problems.

Or maybe you can just tell me the amperage of the adapter? Re: Who's got a powered 7-port USB hub they're really enamored with? - N-OS X-tasy! - 06-20-2011 Was also gonna suggest D-Link - the one I have has been no problem for five years now. Re: Who's got a powered 7-port USB hub they're really enamored with? - silvarios - 06-20-2011 Sell everything. Simpler that way. No USB peripherals to connect, no need for a hub. ![]() Re: Who's got a powered 7-port USB hub they're really enamored with? - Gareth - 06-20-2011 Dr. Bott T7Hub has been rock solid for me. 0.5A on each port with AC adapter, but will also run bus-powered if you want. Not cheap at $40. Available in black, white and silver. http://www.drbott.net/product/3139-TSHK/ Re: Who's got a powered 7-port USB hub they're really enamored with? - ADent - 06-20-2011 I second the Dr. Bott T7 Hub. Works great. I did Velcro it in place to hold it down - it is kinda light. I just picked up a TrippLite 7 port hub (it is also sold under other names) - it works fine. It is a tower config with 2 port on the the front. Just what I needed for the better half. I did notice the power supply is rated for only 3.0 amps - it should 3.5 amps if all 7 ports get .5a each like the T7. Re: Who's got a powered 7-port USB hub they're really enamored with? - Black - 06-20-2011 Thanks, folks. FYI it seems most 7-port hubs have power supplies with less than 3 amp capacity. I have not come across one poking about tonight that has more than a 3 amp supply. I imagine the expectation is that you would not have 7 high power devices connected concurrently.
