what is a usb digital hub?
483805
A USB hub is a small device which you plug into a single USB port on your computer and it splits the port into several ports - typically four - allowing you to connect several devices to a single port.

you probably have a hub and a couple of devices like mice and keyboards on there, remove a couple of devices and try again or buy a powered USB hub and use that.

In general, COM ports, also known as serial ports, are completely unrelated to USB ports. USB ports are a standard designed to replace all parallel ports, serial ports, and other type of ports with a single "universal" type for peripherals. \n\nSo to answer your question, the answer is "no".

For data execution between devices (ie. when transferring data, in this case--CPU system and USB drive), there maybe certain delay or lag time for the device to act on the command given by the user. So, when you are saving or moving files to/from the usb drive, it writes or reads data and exchanging information in between devices. If while executing data, the usb drive is removed, the data transferred out/in or is being read, may become corrupted .\nNot only on the data corruption, the device's normal hardware operation is also distrupted. \n(just like when you are writing on a piece of paper and suddenly someone snatches that piece of paper---your written words/sentence maybe unreadable and may risk tearing the paper apart)\n\nYes, Thumbdrive has no moving parts and it works on static charges from electricity (well, what do you think of repeatedly switching on and off the light? No moving parts,...?? The bulb will die faster than one with normal usage.) \n\nWindows have this feature of "Safely Remove Hardware". This ensures that the usb drive is inactive (by deactivating the usb drive/port instantly or after any currently data execution is completed) before it can be removed.

I was looking at the D1226H on the Dell website and I do not see a USB bay, but perhaps you have a slightly different model.\n\nUsually USB bays on a monitor are designed for you to be able to plug in external devices and allows you to "daisy-chain" these devices so that the wires from the mouse and/or keyboard do not have to also be run over to the actual PC, making for shorter distances to cover and easier access.\n\nYou can try this: Take a webcam or digital camera and plug it into the USB port on the monitor. The PC should play a sound and tell you "Found New Hardware" if it is an active plug&play port.

It is a Part of your computers circutry that allows your computer to have USB ports on your PC or laptop.  It is a set of chips that came with your computer when you bought it.  There are 2 flavors of USB - #1 is old and known as USB 1.1 this is the outdated slow flavor.  #2 is USB 2.0 and is more desireable and much faster.  \n\nSounds like you have a second generation USB 2.0 device (hub) that is trying to connect to an old school USB 1.1 interface on your computer.\n\nAll is not lost.  You CAN NOT upgrade via a download.  You will need to buy a PCI card (for desktop) or a PCMCIA card (for laptop) that will give you USB 2.0 compatibility.\n\nGood Luck!

USB-To-Serial Controller Keeps Portable Devices In Hand:\n\nCurrently, designers are moving away from serial and parallel ports and using the Universal Serial Bus (USB) and IEEE-1394 ports in-stead. That's the reason why Kawasaki LSI is introducing its KL5KUSB116 USB-to-serial controller integrated circuit. It lets designers establish a USB interface in portable communications devices, such as cell phones, personal digital assistants, and other information appliances that already have serial interfaces. \n\nAbout the size of a child's fingernail, or 7 by 7 mm, this device incorporates a USB transceiver engine (1.0/1.1 compliant), a standard serial-port interface engine, and a 16-bit RISC CPU with internal RAM and ROM. Thanks to these features, along with a high transfer rate of 230 kbits/s, this IC fits next-generation, handheld serial-to-USB designs. A UART is included as well for debugging and code development. \n\nSince this device implements the latest USB standard of higher-speed data transfers, it is well suited for connections to high-speed modems and ISDN terminal adapters. Additionally, the IC and its companion software make the USB interface transparent to the peripheral. No other firmware changes are required. Peripherals that have serial interfaces, then, can easily interface with USB with minimum modifications.

Many monitors have USB hubs in them. You should have the other type of connector somewhere and this plugs into your computer. Then the USB ports on the monitor are very useful for keyboards or mice (less wires from desk to PC).

and you have a double-male usb cable? anyway .. an external usb harddrive would be the best thing ... you can get a smaller one for under 50 bucks ...

If you can see the contents of the drive on another pc, then it might be necessary to reinitialize the usbhub attibute on your pc.  Go to my computer, right click and choose manage.  bring up the the device manager, and delete the usb hub. then have the computer re-review the pc components.  this should bring the hub back up with the right drivers.  then put the stick in and see what happens

now a day all external computer things comes with usb cord on the end... it gives good tranfer speed rather then serial or parraller port...
