PC Peripherals USB Hub Slow transfer speed

[bajaj151]

Yesterday I bought a local USB hub (4 ports)...Powered using USB 2.0 port (rear) : Rs. 100
Problem: Transfer speed is very slow (Connected USB Powered Seagate 500Gb HDD)
Message: Your USB Composite Device can perform faster if it is plugged into a hi-speed port
OS: Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate SP1

Is there any problem with hub or
hub transfer rate is slow ?

your answer is in your question.
cheap USB hubs have cheap parts in it, so thats why they are cheap & give yoou the obvious speed.

they are good only for USB light/fan, gamepad...

get a proper USB hub, especially powered hubs from good brands like Belkin.
