USB Hubs?

Gen Hard seems to be the best place for this.

I'm tired of wasting money on USB hubs that don't work the way I need them too. I have numerous things that use USB for either charging or data transfer, and both in some cases. So instead of unplugging and re-plugging into the back of my desktop, what is the best powered hub that I can get that will provide good transfer speeds as well as charging?
 
I don't really think there is a "best" solution, but rather here all of these will fit the bill kind of solution. You just need one that has enough power to power all the devices you need to power. Since we don't know what you're trying to power nor do we know what you're transferring that makes it kind of hard for us to just tell you here, try these.
 
iPhone (charge and data transfer)
iPad (charge and data transfer)
Nikon D5200 (data transfer)
Contour +2 camera (charge and data transfer)
keyboard
wireless mouse
webcam
 
Great and Hubs never have historically went hand in hand back to the early networking days. Hubs are extremely dumb and if you want powered devices attached tot he hub you want a powered hub obviously. Performance is going to shaky at best, especially with newer USB 3.0 ones where the market hasn't fully weeded out the crappy ones yet.

Like Skillz already said, it depends on how many devices and what type you're putting on one controller. You might be overloading the controller and that's why performance sucks while you're charging. Iv'e typically never had a problem charging multiple devices and transferring files on either USB 2.0 or 3.0. I make sure I don't overload the controller though and you need to first identify which ports belong to a single controller.
