I have a 7-Port USB Hub that I've been using to connect things like keyboards, mice, and controllers to my Pandora. It came with an AC adapter, but it works fine without...however, it draws quite a bit of power (I get *edit* about 2/3 *edit* of the battery life when it is plugged in).


If I get a 4-Port or 2-Port hub instead, would it draw less power from the Pandora? If so, can someone recommend a good one for power conservation purposes?


Ps. Flash drive plugged directly into the Pandora doesn't drain the battery like this, but flash drive (only) plugged in through the hub does, so I know it's not simply "use of the USB port" that is draining it.
