USB Hub recommendation for the pro?
Anyone got an inexpensive one that they know works? So many of these it's hard to choose. I'm looking for just 4 port powered.
thanks

- Well, to answer my own question:
I purchased this one because it indicated it worked with linux:

In fact it does work very well with 1 quirk. I have a WD Live and two Seagates GoFlex drives. The Seagates didn't spin up automatically and appear on frontview when connected through the Hub. The seagates are usb 3.0 drives and have a USB 3.0 cable which is supposed to be compatible with 2.0, but after perusing the internet and reading other peoples comments I found the suggestion to use a USB 2.0 cable and that fixed it. With the 2.0 cable the drive comes right up every time it's attached.
thanks,
steve - Basically any hub should work. I got mine for 2€ afair. Quit simple and small with 4 ports and working great.
