Hi there,
I know I'm supposed to keep a port open for my TI, but I have a new MacBook Pro and I'm running out of power on the other USB port with the external (powered) drives, usb powered controllers, etc.... this has to be a common issue.
Can anyone suggest a high-end usb hub that will actually put out consistent power? I used the one Apple recommended - the belkin 7-port powered hub (http://www.amazon.com/7-PORT-D…-USB-Hub-ps/dp/B002K3Y2MM)
At the time Apple was selling it from their site - so I bought it from them. Looks like they don't sell it anymore.
Anyway, it's powered and not supplying enough power. I also have 2 of these - http://www.belkin.com/IWCatPro…process?Product_Id=158910 and they don't work either... yes, they're powered hubs....
I've been looking at Digi.com hubs because they seem to be taking this seriously... but their best option doesn't mention working with macs... I have an email out to them asking about all this... no response yet..

I am willing to spend the money - I want 4 to 7 USB ports in a portable solution with GOOD power and throughput.
Has anyone found a good solution?
(On a different tip all together - the search on this forum doesn't seem to work and I wasn't able to search for a thread about this.)
