It depends on what you're doing with the usb hub, but yeah. With that price differential, you can buy two so that when one breaks, you have a spare. At $5, they are disposable. That was my point in the first place. There are a lot of things that can fail on a usb hub, from the board being poorly printed, the solder points being weak, the fuses or caps failing at a higher rate, or the power supply giving inconsistent voltage. And if it's built into your Generic Lay-Z-Bro gaming recliner, it will likely be a bitch to replace.
