      I have a usb hub..powered four port. It has a separate power supply. It's a Pluggable brand has not failed me one bit. Always remember the pi has enough power to run just itself in most cases. USB sticks have leds on them..so the more leds you plug in the more power draw. (No not saying that LEDS are draining and power hungry..etc ect.) Just saying the pi powers itself..if it has to share it will not be happy.

      And not all usb hubs are the same. Yo want to make sure that the hub will NOT back-power into the pi..thus causing damage or death of your pi

      People want things easy...but then complain that life is boring...
