Hello all:

I have about ten USB 2 drives hooked up to a computer that does a lot
of work with video.

Are there really any differences in USB 2 hubs? If I have disk
access
to several drives going on through a hub things slow up. Is there a
hardware solution to "switch" bandwith better through certain brands
of USB 2 hubs? I'm willing to pay a lot more to get several good
hubs . . .

Any help is appreciated.

Hubs do not provide bandwidth controls. As with the older Ethernet
hubs, the entire bandwidth is "shared"/passed over every port.
