Product Description
Hubs play a key role in the Plug-and-Play architecture of the Universal Serial Bus (USB). The new Belkin ExpressBus hub allows simultaneous operation of several separate devices all attached to a single USB port. The ExpressBus is truly Plug-and-Play. That means all of your devices will be detected and configured as soon as they are connected.The hub also allows you to "hot attach/detach" devices, giving you the flexibility of adding or removing devices at any time, without having to power down or reboot your system. The ExpressBus is either self-powered or bus-powered, an important option when using multiple hubs or power hungry USB devices. All the software necessary to take full advantage of USB power is built right into Windows 98.

 Did not work from the start on XP machine no matter what September 13, 2008
I bought the powered hub to support my new WD portable hard drive that needs more power than the USB installed hub can provide. Hooked the Belkin USB to the installed hub and immediately received a message that the computer could not recognized the new USB device. Checked Google and Belkin support site. No driver available for this product. Tried all suggestions I found on Google with no luck. It appears that even though Belkin says this is XP compatible it is really not. Can not return the item because I've already opened it. This is the first Belkin peice of equipment that has not worked for me. Think long and hard before buying this item to use on your computer. I was lucky it did not totally ruin my computer as described in some of the other reviews.

I have both the 4-port and 7-port Belkin USB hubs. Both have worked as advertised for more than three years. Today the 7-port hub gave up so it is time to buy a new one.
Regarding others comments about the 4-port hub not being powered, there is a switch on the side that allows you to switch between powered and unpowered ports. Why you would want to do this I don't know. If your hub seems not to be powered check the switch.
 product failed within a year January 23, 2007
I'm not certain exactly when I bought the 4-port hub. I believe it was about a year ago. It appeared to work well with my PowerBook G4 and my new iMac, but, as noted by others, it does not provide power to devices even though it is itself powered. Other than that it worked OK for a while, then simply quit working. The lights come on for about 5 seconds, then go out. Short? Anyway, I'm going to try another brand as a replacement.
Didn't work at all November 30, 2006

I bought a Belkin USB hub with a power cable thinking it would be a powered hub. Well, the red light came on indicating that the power cable was working, but the USB connection never did work, regardless of how I tried to connect it to my computer.

Since my iMac only has 3 USB ports. 1 is used by the keyboard. 1 for the printer and the last for a router. BUT that still leaves my scanner, DSL modem and VOIP telephone. So I bought this hub. From day one my computer would report low USB power. I would then have to unplug 1 or 2 things to get something else to work. Although it pluggs into a power outlet, apparently, the individual ports are not powered (self powered). I replaced it with a D-Link which is working GREAT with things plugged into all 4 ports. I recommend that you pass on this product and go with a D-Link.
