Some powered USB hubs will provide more power than a PC.  So using a USB hub 
for a single device can mean that it gets more power than a PC can provide.  
Also often PCs provide more power on USB ports than they should.  One time for 
a test I had an old laptop I was about to send to e-waste and I shorted out a 
USB port, that should have just drawn 500mA but instead instantly shut the 
machine down.
