Off-topic: Which powered USB hub do you use?

Thread needs solution

I am running out of USB ports. Portable drives need powered USB hub for backing up and restore with True Image. I am sure that many of you are using USB hub(s). I have non-powered usb hub but it does not work with portable drive. Please advise me which brand of powered USB hub is reliable.

At home, I use the Belkin High-Speed USB 2.0 hub:

http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-High-Speed-USB-2-0-7-Port/dp/B000ESN9GA

It has 5 ports in the back and two up on top. Works great for me.

I cancelled the order because there were a few bad reviews on the same webpage.

For Win 7, I use the SIIG SuperSpeed 7 port hub, 3 USB3 ports & 4 USB2 ports. Had for 6 months without issues.

My 7 port white Belkin usb2 hub has worked without any issues for over a year.

SIIG SuperSpeed 7 port hub seems to be the right one. Two of 5 Seagate portable drives I use are USB 3.0. It seems that the model is to be discontinued. One online store posted it as "Discontinued" and Newegg stamped it "Delisted". I am waiting for the release of its updated version. Thanks GroverH.
