anyone else also run out of USB ports? I have a few usb midi controllers and its a pain always having to pull one out and putting in another one.

any multiple usb adapters hub you guys recommend?
 
I just grabbed a cheap usb hub out of ASDA.
Cost less than a fiver and works fine. Plug my mouse, controller, ilok etc into the hub, keep my interface on the other USB port as sometimes they can get a bit weird when using a hub.
 
Any USB hub will do, just avoid plugging an USB hub on another device that has more USB ports (like video monitors that have USB ports) because sometimes it can freeze your boot.
 
And dont rely only in internal power : plug the transformer in as well even if it seems it works well on its own. it cannot drive several important USB devices only (with your pc voltage and current) without causing weird issues.
