I am considering using one with a used laptop I have my eye on. It will be replacing an old XP powered one that has 4 ports which are just enough. Unfortunately the replacement laptop has only 3 USB ports but I need at least 4.
I will be using the ports to connect to my rigs and Signallink etc.

Nev,
I'm using a cheep one from Ebay with no problems, depending on what is connected you may need external power.
It is also handy to get one with individual switches if you want to be able to isolate each USB outlet, ie my speakers power.
