7 port usb hub, as some of you already figured out. Got it from DX, an  think i paid 9 dollars for it.I like that there is induvidual buttins for each usb slot. Makes it easier than to uplug or whatever. Some external drives power down automaticly if the usb dis disconnected, so that might a nice thing there. And the fucking fact that he they light blue, wich every thing in my pc room does...

Usenet Indexer Spec/Detailss It has one job in life feed SickBeard, CouchPotato and Headphones should be okay for that

Ubuntu 12.04 (? can't even remember now) Yeah all you Linux gurus can **** off the install instructions were for Ubuntu so ...

P.S. I hate Linux so seting this up was ... and I'm still not happy about 8GB of memory not being used for a Windows machine

!!! Be VERY CAREFUL !!!

If it has an external power adapter, those adapters are often VERY UNDERSIZED for the job.

Normally, each usb connector is designed to give up to 0.5A of power to whatever you connect into it.  For 7 jacks, the adapter would have to do 7x0.5 = 3.5A but even 2A would be acceptable.
The power adapters on these cheap hubs however can often barely do 1A.  For example, you can see below a 5 port hub with one of those adapters that can barely do 0.2A before it goes outside reasonable voltages.

Your adapter may output 6v without anything connected in the usb slots, and go down to below 4v at 0.5-1A. It's just not safe to power stuff from such adapter.

It also has on/off switch for every port :-D

If its data USB port its 1A or less and if its pure charging dock its around 5A.
So external power is very much needed if you are connecting things that require power. But most USB gadgets or disks usually has external power themselves so there is no worries.

That's good. But remember normal USB ports are only capable of 0.5 A per port, like I said.  A keyboard uses about 0.08-0.1A , a mouse about 0.1-0.15A etc... a mp3 player would normally use about 0.25A when charging... it adds up.

There are, for example, hard drives that come with a special USB cables that come with two usb connectors at the computer side, so that can be plugged in two jacks and get 2 x 0.5A of power from the computer.
If you have something like this and you plug it in the hub, you'll only get 0.5A of power that the computer gives to the whole hub, and your drive may not work right.

Some motherboards like the Gigabyte ones have those special usb ports that are capable of giving up to 3A per port, but I'm not sure how they work. I think they don't do it by default, normally the hub must identify itself as a high charge device to get that much current from the motherboard and these cheap hubs don't have that circuitry in them to work as such.

I only told you about the power adapter because they're dangerous, if they're the low quality kind.

For example, you could plug your iphone in the hub to charge and then put a usb stick to write some files to it, and you won't even know that the files get corrupted during transfer, because the power adapter's voltage drops due to the overall power consumption that jumps up only during writes.  Simply put, the output of those cheap power adapters is not as regulated and stable as the power from a computer power supply.

To add to Angelitta's post, you can fry the USB port by attempting to draw more power through it than the hub can supply.
I learned that lesson with my first hub which has a 2.6 Amp (13 Watt) supply (2.6A/ 7 ports=0.371A per hub if all hubs are running (13W/ 7ports= 1.86W per port)
Since I was using the hub to tie together 7 external drives, it wasn't hard to over-extend the specs of the hub and I wound up frying one of the ports.For the next 2 hubs I bought,I made sure that the adapters delivered sufficient power.

well, alll my main stuff is hooked to seperate ports on my mobo, the hub is only for pendrives and "not much used items" in general, so i should be good ;-)

USB 3.0 ports offers 0.9A

Not sure how gigabytes works but Asus has AI charge that offers 2A through USB port on the motherboard. Works when your computer is turned off.

Sometimes you can connect one port from your chassi to a USB charger and that usually offers more than 2A but has no data transfer at all.

What you mena like mine. :-(

I've never really thought about USB hubs other than getting powered ones, didn't realise I had to worry about what they were powered by.

Crap. I started buying external drives instead of internal and hooking them up to hubs. I'm a greedy @~#@er and got 8 drives hooked up like this one hub downstairs connected to my laptop and one upstairs connected to my WDTV Live.

But external harddrives have power supplies surely that's where they are getting their power from?

Do I have to check the power supply of my 7 port hub that has 7 external drives connected?

Oh and thanks for the heads up.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This ok for a 7 port hub with 7 external hard drives all with power supplies?

INPUT :100-240V~50/60Hz 0.6A
OUTPUT : 5V 2600mA

The bass box is smaller than the one on my previous set, but it's a whole lot better! :yes: The sound is great, high quality. The bass is currently set to 30-40%, anything higher than that and the neighbors will really start complaining The sound is crystal clear as well, I can highly recommend you this set :yes:
