Cirago 7-Port USB Hub

A couple of weeks ago Fry's Electronics had a sale on the Cirago Hi-Speed USB 2.0 7-port Hub.

The model numbers is USH1070

The UPC is 858796051764

Normal Price is $19.99

I have two Raspberry Pi's so I got two of the USB Hubs for them.  I liked it so much I went back for a third, I wish I got more and I'll go over why it is such a good fit for the Raspberry PI

• It's a powered USB providing 2 Amps of power more than enough for a Raspberry Pi
• Although I got it on sale for less than $10.00 I think it is still a good deal for $19.99
• It provides 6 USB ports that transfers data, and a 7th which provides enough current for an ipad so a Raspberry pi is ideal for this port.
• Two of those ports are vertical, you can put a wifi device or USB Flash Drive without protruding out the sides.
• Has a power button.
• Comes with a 5 Volt 2 Amp AC Adapter

If you have a Raspberry Pi, I strongly recommend you consider this for your USB powered Hub

This USB port is unusual in that it has an on and off switch.

Although it is listed as a 7 port USB hub, only 6 of them are for data, the 7th is provides enough charging power for an ipad.

The USB port comes with a 5 Volt 2 Amp AC adapter and USB Cable.  Attached to the top is a Keybox 150N Wifi adapter that does not come with the purchase.
