Yep, Orico, I use them, good quality and 3A x 12V = 36W (10x ports 3.6W per port) £17.99 (never needed the more expensive USB 3.0 version)

They're shipped from Hong Kong but don't incur any import duty because they're under £20 value.

if your near manchester you can order from scan and pick up, they are based in bolton near reebok stadium.

Please pester Scan to accept Bitcoins via BitPay. Point out there's no charge backs so it's zero scams for their pickup service.
I often see them struggling to accept PayPal pickups from people who's address don't match. Wink

Raspberry Pi is incompatible with USB 3. Found out the hard way Sad I'm still looking for the best price point / quality / power. So far DLink from Amazon.co.uk seems to be the best

I'll check out scan.co.uk never heard of it before

thank you everyone

Hi everyone

So far the most recommended USB hubs seems to be this D Link 7 port hub with 5v 3Amp plug: http://www.amazon.co.uk/D-Link-DUB-H7-Port-USB-External/dp/B0002AFZVM

Now in the USA it seems a lot of people are using Rosewill RHB-520 - 10 ports 5v 3.5Amp: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182257

If you live in the UK what are you using?

Trying to locate the best pricing / reliability

Thank you in advance everyone

I'm using the D-Link. I get them from amazon as well as Ebay were charging alot more for them.

go with the d link

got mine from scan so i could pick them up.
