I am getting pissed off with haivng to plug an unplug my scanner, printer etc all the time.

You're BKK right now?
Panthip, or any of hte local computer "malls" in and around BKK.
dunno the prices but if it was over 3 - 400 baht i'd be amazed.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, MrsQ.

I'm back in my town now so I am a bit limited as to where I can go shopping.

Maybe a trip to IT city is in order

Cheers GoW.

Me and my mate used to look for 4 ports hub but difficult to find and 4 ports price and 8 ports price are not much different. Then we got 5 ports.

USB 2.0 is what you should go for MrsQ, you will probably regret it later if you buy an old standard hub.
And make sure it is powered from an external power supply since many computer USB ports only can supply limited power to USB devices.

mrsquirrel · 12-04-2006, 01:30 PM

I only have USB 1.0 on my laptop so a 2.0 isn't going to hack it.

lom · 12-04-2006, 01:33 PM

Ok, so when you replace the laptop next time you can also buy a new hub..

It will still work, but at 1.0 speed.

You might have a hard time finding a 1.0 only hub now.

Hopefully he'll be forced to buy a 2.0 hub.

Mrs Q wants a USB hub, not a LAN hub.

Am I being sheep again?

Nope - you're being a bunny.

dirtydog · 12-04-2006, 05:52 PM

I bought a hub for 4 extensions a couple of weeks ago for 300baht, they had some at 600 though, I assume I got version 1, don't really make much differance to me how fast it is though as I have so many windows open all the time.

Butterfly · 12-04-2006, 07:27 PM

how many windows open ? irrelavant for USB. However you will notice the difference when you will need to download or copy your porn stash to your external drive

dirtydog · 12-04-2006, 08:08 PM

what I meant was while the usb is doing whatever I will generally be doing something else.

Isn't that the normal state of affairs? I rarely wait for my USB hub to finish it's shtick before going one with my own.

dirtydog · 12-04-2006, 10:16 PM

in Penang I nearly filled up my 1gb memory card on my camera, no idea how long that took to transfer over.
