Mega Hub vs Giant Peripheral Pile

So you say you already have a hub with what, 4, 7, 16 ports?  Obviously you’re not serious about your USB needs otherwise you’d have this 24-port  monster! Coming at at roughly 6″ wide and a inch and a half tall, the majority of the ports are piggy-backed on each other around the diameter, with the two final ports sitting on top.  Each port has over-current protection and 480 Mbps transfer speeds.  You can choose to either power the hub via computer or use the included AC/DC wall adapter, which also allows for peripheral charging without the need for a computer.  The hub is both PC & Mac compatible and does not need additional drivers or software.  You can pick up your own Mega 24-port hub through ThinkGeek for about $50.

with its charging ability, it could be useful in a gadget bag as a overnight charging station.

I says “does need need additonal drivers or software” – should that be “does not need …” ?

negative-negative rule changed to positive-positve: does need need = does not need ;)

Gack! Thank you, Sean, it should read “does not need.” Post updated.
