[colug-432] USB hub you'd trust attached to your server?

[Andy Graybeal]

Jeff, 
Check out this monster from the website you listed:
Industrial 16-Port USB 2.0 Rack Mount Hub with Built-in Power Supply 1.5A Charging per port
 http://www.usbgear.com/computer_cable_details.cfm?sku=USBG-16U1&cats=104&catid=104%2C653%2C210%2C212

I wonder if this would do good things.

Andy
