Yesterday I bought a local USB hub (4 ports)...Powered using USB 2.0 port (rear) : Rs. 100


Problem: Transfer speed is very slow (Connected USB Powered Seagate 500Gb HDD)
Message: Your USB Composite Device can perform faster if it is plugged into a hi-speed port
OS: Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate SP1



Is there any problem with hub or
hub transfer rate is slow ?

am using 3 such....two of iball, and one local....same issue as yours...i guess the belkin ones which are all USB 2.0 ports (all 4 of them) would be having high transfer speeds, and they are costlier too :)

just for reference :

dont remember it actually....had bought 2 yrs back....must be something about ~200-300/-....but surely not worth it....better save some money and get a good belkin one....be sure to check out reviews too first !
