I've never discarded a USB hub because it "no longer worked".

I tend not to connect/disconnect/reconnect devices. Once it's hooked up, it tends to stay there.

I know there's cheap hubs out there that should be externally powered but don't come with a power adapter, and draw the power from the one port they're connected to. That's just a recipe for disaster.
