| 1312978 | 2012-11-17 04:58:00 | Hi all. I'm after powered USB hub recommendations -around $50 and 4 -7 USB ports. Don't know if there's any advantage in going for USB 3.0 so I'm particularly interested in your views on this aspect. Primarily for plugging in our plethora of phones and MP3 players but I'm interested if a hub would be suitable for my bluetooth headphones and perhaps other bluetooth devices. Cheers! |

Might be useful for future upgrades though. It should work with anything if it's powered and not a piece of junk. It's the cheap unpowered ones that often have issues. |
