Thanks. I'll buy it.

If you can pronounce the sellers name.

I don't think I need to. The names on my PayPal account are usually completely different anyway. The whole process is a complete mystery.

Like the sellers name though

You'd be the buyer though. Yours anything like the one above?

I got cold feet about the 10 port USB 2.0 hub for £3.99, shipped from the US. I wasn't worried too much about it packing up, more about the PSU spontaneously combusting and burning Chateau Slowmotion to the ground.

£3.99 including shipping across the Pond.....it's totally bonkers.

2.0 Should do you then. 3.0 works either way up in the slot, previous version only fit one way.


I've still got 95D one computer, first with usb support from the start.

The 3.0 port is physically the same as 2.0, albeit blue instead of black.

It's the type-c ports that can fit either way up which IIRC came about with 3.1 and is compatible with 3.0 using an adapter to connect the two together.

I've got this one:

It works and you can annoy people with the Tardis sound

Hmmm the cheap ones all die, slowmo. Had a few now and splashed out on an Anker one a few years ago. Haven't looked back.

Well, the £10 jobbie turned up yesterday. It's got a half metre lead to go from the PC to the hub. One end is a bog standard USB connector, and the other end is quite unlike anything I've ever seen. Does anybody know what it's called? I want to get an equivalent lead that's about two metres long.

Thank you.

Which end goes into the computer?

Its a "micro usb 3" connector, my Samsung S5 has one.

Brilliant! Thanks.

See edited post, it plugs into some "smartphones" in place of micro usb
