I've had this old USB 1.1 external hub for a while now and am getting tired of the issues i am having with it..


specifically, when i use some devices connected to the hub (it is a powered hub) they will completely disable any other devices on the hub..

specifically my camera has an issue when transferring over my external hub.

eg.

when i transfer pictures and i have my mouse / keyboard hooked up to the hub they are disabled while the pictures are being transfered..

i am also not able to hook up my Saitek X52 upto this external hub. (not sure why)..

is there a good USB 2.0 external hub that isn't prone to the above issues?
 
I would look for a good USB Powered Hub. I don't think you could go wrong with any of the ones on newegg.com. Belkin usually has expensive but good hubs. You could always add a USB PCI card too.
 
Ive had a usb2 pci card for years. couldnt be happier. very recommended.
