USB Hub under 1k

Targus or Belkin ??

buy belkin , they r of better quality, as ur budget is 1k buy powered usb hub u will get an power adapter with the usb hub, u can get 'belkin 4port powered usb hub' frm infibeam.com , sedna makes usb 3.0 hub but price is more than 1k

I can add 200-300 if I get 3.0 ports...

USB 3.0 hub is very costly

Sedna Usb 3.0 4 Port External Hub

Sedna Desktop 10 Ports USB 3.0 Hub

Okk....I can't afford that much

Should I go with hub that require power or self powered ?

of course u should get usb hub with power adapter, if u connect mouse or keyboard or bluetooh dongle the is no need for the power adapter but if u connect usb modem or external hdd or external optical drive u will obviously need the power adapter, coz single usb from desktop or laptop simply can't provide so much power

I think, it's better to go with one with Power Adapter...Right ?

Belkin or Targus or any other brand ?

Why not buy a USB3 PCI-e Card?? it comes in two port and 4 port versions.

USB3 versions costs 1.5K+ where as USB versions is just about 300.

will save you from all the wires and stuff..

check Ebay.in

Belkin 7 Port USB 2.0 ~ 1300 (Requires power)
Targus 4 Port USB 2.0 ~ 480 & 530 (Other variant)


Disadvantage of using PCI cards : Take power from motherboard, unnecessary load on mobo....Correct me if I am wrong ?

^^ if motherboards can take a 75 watt GFX card.. then it can take a simple USB expansion card too .

Okies

I have only 1 PCI slot...which I will use for TV Tuner soon...

^^ pci-e?

Ya...1 slot is free

Hey, decide on which Tuner card you will be going for, as you have one PCI and one PCI-E slots left

Bought Belkin 7 port hub from Homeshop18 : 1033

Thanks all for the help
