643337 2008-02-25 02:14:00 USB devices are proliferating and I wish to get a USB hub, separately (ie mains) powered, with more than 4 ports (say 7 which seems to be available).

I would appreciate advice on the parameters which define such a device, and the values which are best.

I've seen devices from D-link (DUB-H7), Digitus, Belkin, and ICZ, and have no idea how to choose among them.

If they dont work, you'll have to plug it into a USB port

Just remember to get a USB 2 not 1.1 hub.
