I ordered one of these:
Satechi 12 Port USB Hub with Power Adapter 2 Control Switches
from Amazon because someone (David Pogue? Randy Singer? I know you should

I haven't received it yet, but it looks good. You can google for some

The 4-port USB hub I have uses a 5V 2.6A AC adapter, which is a fair
amount of power. With a hub powered by the computer, I think you'd
need to be cautious with devices that are powered by the USB plug, so
a printer is probably low-draw, but charging an iPod would need more
juice. It also depends

And I suppose you shouldn't hook up a USB 1 hub to a
Are there any advantages speedwise to having an internal multi-port
USB card versus having an external multi-port USB hub (hopefully able

3-480Mbps USB ports which may or may not already be sharing the bus?

way that I just always use mine plugged in. HTH
A power brick also reduces the load on the
Thanks for the responses. I'll start looking for USB powered hubs.
