Buffalo BSH4A02 USB Hub Kills Vampire Power With Individual Port Power Switches
June 16th, 2009 12:17 PM | by Christen da Costa | 32 Comments
Vampire power has long been addressed in power strips with the addition of individual kill switches per outlet, but what about those powered USB ports? The BSH4A02 4-port USB hub from Buffalo features a power switch per port, ostensibly letting you disable select USB devices while saving power and preventing ports from being fried during start up. Each switch features an LED light to indicate power and the hub itself is available in 4 colors. No word on a US release date, but expect it to go on sale in Japan this October for $40.

open4energy completed an energy study on recharging a BlackBerry.
In summary:
Cost of electricity charging the BlackBerry each year: 12.5 cents
Cost of vampire power $1.26
Our result shows 90% wasted energy, on what I call the charger pretending to be a small wall heater.

I know technology will help us save, but can I add a reminder for us to try and save in what we do. While waiting for your new hub, turn it off when it is not being used.
