What are you connecting to it? Some devices such as printers, External Hard drives pull enough power that a powered hub is required if they are - JD Jul 22, 09:30 4

  - EIL5. How does that work? I always had in mind that one needed some type of special USB cable to connect one PC to another -- nm - JD Jul 22, 09:34 2
    - home computer and work laptop just have 2 USB ports. Both have a mouse and a keyboard; so just want some extras for headphones, mic etc -- nm - Beaker Jul 22, 09:35 1
      - Ahh got it. Poorly worded question on my part 8-) You should be fine with headphones and so on with that basic hub - JD Jul 22, 09:43
it glows and everything!! - decline Jul 22, 09:11 3
- there is.. when you get to USB 3.0, power draw can fry the cheap ones really fast. -- nm - colin Jul 22, 09:14 1
  - huh. good to know -- nm - decline Jul 22, 09:15
- word. The only difference is how many you need. -- nm - Spawn Jul 22, 09:13
