Powered USB Hubs for Macbook/Macbook Pro

[Chilly]

I get it guys. I know that there's ways around it.

But when you have 'x' many USB devices, and you move from a Dell (or some other pc based system) to a Mac, you lose those built in hubs.

It's a pain in the ass to figure it out.

Here are all my devices that could or could not be connected:
2 WD passport hds
2 MyBook hds
Trigger Finger
UC-33e
Remote SL25
Keystation 88e
VCI-100 se
Audio 8
Saffire LE (Firewire)
Mouse
Keyboard

My basic live setup is to use the Audio 8 and 2 WD passports (2 different DJs with their own music).

You never know what setup you're gonna use live or in the studio...and most of these devices are USB. The easiest solution is to get a powered USB hub and go from there. So...lol...back to my original questions...?? :-D

So some general questions on powered USB hubs for Macbooks/Macbook Pros:

1) What do you use, with success?
2) Do you use the same hub in your studio as you do when you play live?
3) What do you have connected to the hub?
4) What have you tested that doesn't work?
