Well I was hoping I could wait to order one, but ended up going to micro center today, the problem was happening every 10 minutes and just too annoying to deal with any longer.
I bought this:

At $60, its the most expensive usb hub I have ever bought. but, it has a rocker switch for power, seems solid and well built. So far, I haven't seen the UPDD connect/disconnect messages on my raven... which was the most common symptom. So fingers crossed, I'll post back my findings once I've put it through its paces.
