USB hub or card reader,what is better ?
-
Guys unfortunately my front panel USB ports on the CPU cabinet broke and i am not willing to buy a new cabinet, also I enquired for repairs but it is not possible. All my other ports on the rear side of cabinet are busy in mouse, keyboard, external hard disks, printer, scanner etc. so it is not easy to connect a simple pen drive to PC and i do not have a ps2 connector either so that I can go for a ps2 mouse or a keyboard. SO I NEED SOME MORE USB PORTS Should I go for a usb hub that gives me multiple ports or should i go for a card reader that gives me 2 USB ports and multiple card reading sockets? I heard from few people that the USB hub does not give sufficient power if its multiple ports are in use simultaneously and so USB devices connected to these ports do not work properly. Another problem I have heard of is that the PC does not recognize multiple USB devices connected to the USB hub. But the positive side of the USB hub is that it gives me multiple USB ports which are very useful to me. The card reader is the better option i suppose but it only gives me about 2 USB ports on the front panel of the cabinet whereas the other card reading slots are useless for me as i only have 1 SD card and I do not use the card reader often. I am confused. What do you think i should do in this case?

Answer:
Buy a USB hub that has a DC power adapter (powered hub). The "few people" you heard from are wrong about devices not being recognised. One singe USB port can recognise up to 128 devices through daisy-chained hubs. If you get a powered hub you will have no problem with devices getting enough power from the hub.

Go for the hub, but get a powered one. Most problems with hubs arise from the fact that they draw too much voltage from the mobo. A powered hub solves this☺
