 Cables to go USB hub July 24, 2008
This hub does the job well. I screwed onto the side of my entertainment/pc center and it has helped with my organization of all the USB cables and RF receivers. It feels like it is made to last, but only time will tell. The light is pretty bright, but not so much so that it annoys me.
 garbage July 22, 2008
so i bought this device b/c i find that i am running out of usb ports for all the harddrives and what not i've been buying, and i seem to be in the minortiy, but it just doesn't work, everything i plug into it not recognizable by the computer, so figured id put my two cents in
7Port fast USB Hub July 20, 2008
Have not tested every port yet but so far, I really like it! Good idea to include something to hang it with--since this product assumes odd positions and looks like a patient on life support with all those plugs in it! (But many items have short USB cables, so we are wondering just where we would hang it!) In spite of our amusement, I think it is the most attractive hub out there. Some folks think the blue light is a tad too bright but I like it and since I added an energy saver surge protector that turns everything off when my PC shuts down, all is well.
Frozen components July 16, 2008
Bought this for my MacBook Pro so I wouldn't have to keep plugging/unplugging USB ports each time I sat down at my desk. Worked fine at first but a week later, I'm getting pretty much consistent freezes on everything -- mouse, disk, headphone, iPhone connections, the works. Have to plug/unplug each time to make them come back to life. Doesn't work too well for the hard-disk, especially if doing unattended backups or if the iPhone is syncing.
Ever an optimist, I got rid of the packaging so I'll have to eat it. YYMV, but this one's going straight to the electronics recycling center.
Ordered the Linksys 7-port, hoping it'll work better.
 High Quality Hub July 16, 2008
I just received this item and I am quite pleased so far. The manufacturer has clearly taken the time and effort to design this hub properly.
Pros:
1. There is PLENTY of space between usb ports, so that you can actually utilize all 7, all the time. With my other cheaper usb 1 hub, you can only utilize 2 or 3 of the 4 ports at a time, since the ports are so closely crammed together.
2. With the AC adapter plugged in, you can plug a usb 2 hard drive into the hub, rather than directly to the computer.
3. The base is nicely designed. It has a nice heft to it, and you can screw it in place, if need be. It also has a nice, polished black finish which is esthetically pleasing.
4. If you are not connecting a hard drive to any of the ports, feel free to hook up your printer, keyboard and mouse to your hub sans ac adapter. Convenient if you are on the road.
Cons:
1. This note is for prospective buyers: the price of this high quality item has gone up an astonishing $13 in just four days. The price is still highly competitive given the features and quality, but still shocking nonetheless. Glad I bought early!
2. the AC adapter plug which connects to the hub itself does not quite fit flush into the hub. A minor nitpick, but a noticeable flaw in an otherwise quality piece of engineering.
