Best 10 port USB Hub for the price?

I bought this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/141039727067?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

It was $25. NO idea why its says $125 now lol. But should that one work? I need to get one more but I figured I'd check with yall before I get a second..

Thanks

I use these, they use NEC usb hub chips and work well with the raspberry pi. Chop off the power adapter and wire it directly to a 5v psu or the 5v rail of an atx power supply and you can load it up to the max with erupters

Idk wh yyou guys are pushing hubs on him. Get got a 36VA powered 10 port usb hub, which should power 10 usb miners just fine. I think it was a steal. Nice find OP.

Just remember that the rule of thumb is you need 5A to run 10 usb erupter. Each erupter requires 500Mah or half an A.

These "Etekcity" guys peddling that hub in your link has massive negative feedback. Dont buy from them.

Looks like the same hub is up now from a different seller for a great price... $39.  Orico's (Anker, Aitech, they're all the same) are great but I only have the older squarish aluminum ones so I can't vouch for the newer style hubs.
