I have a pair of Belkin powered hubs here, connected to high-speed ports on the motherboard, that seem to not support high-speed um, speeds. If I take my Kingston 2GB thumbdrive and connect it to the hub, it throws the "this device can work faster" message. If I connect the thumbdrive directly to the same port on the motherboard, or to an IOGear mini-hub, no error.

I'm looking for a 7-port hub capable of supporting high-speed devices (webcam, mic, DVD-RW, thumbdrives, etc)

Anyone have any winners out there?

Really, most of them. Most of the USB hubs I have are $8 generic POS something-or-others, and I can't say full speed is normally a problem.

Maybe the port is going bad or something.

I received that error a few times when the unpowered hub was not supplying enough power.

Strangely enough, the unexpensive, unpowered hub doesn't throw an error, just the massive, expensive, powered one.

I'll order a variety and see what I can find out.
