I have several USB devices that I need to connect to my MacBook on a regular basis. I'd like to get a USB hub so that I have a single USB connection to the computer instead of always plugging in and unplugging devices. If any of you have had good experience with particular hubs, please let me know. Thanks!

I have the following USB devices:
Keyboard and Mouse (USB 1.1)
2 External Hard Drives (USB 2.0)
Printer (USB 2.0)
iPod Shuffle Dock (USB 2.0)
Digital Camera (USB 2.0)
USB Jump Drive (USB 2.0)

I've got a Kensington 7 port hub (http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-DomeHub-ports-Weighted-33118/dp/B0002FHENE/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-7428995-4392734?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1193016892&sr=8-1) that I've had no trouble with. It works just fine, is USB 2 and powered. It's weighted so it doesn't move around much, so that's nice.

The only thing is that the dome shape makes it a bit hard to plug things into but since I don't do it often it's not a problem.

Oh, and it's relatively cheap, too. :)

I use two Belkin 7 Port (http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=158910) hubs and love them.
