5 of 5 Great USB hub - Easy access ports a key feature Tuesday, November 04, 2008 TechGuy from West Bend WI
Great price for a very dependable hub. Just having the two easy access ports on the top of the hub is worth the price - not having to fumble around trying the find the front ports or fighting the cables in the back of the processor. I used to leave a 3 ft USB extention cable plugged into the front of the PC - no need for that anymore. Low profile and neutral color instead of a brightly lit neon fixture is also a plus. As always, great price and fast shipping from Buy.com Was this review helpful?
3 of 5 Great design and value, but overheats Tuesday, October 14, 2008 PSC from Arlington VA
I have owned three of these hubs; the first two worked fine but eventually overheated and failed. That's the bad news --- the good news is that Belkin stands behind its products and honored its lifetime warranty without hesitation. I'm on my third one and hoping that the design and convenience are finally matched with equally good durability. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Very well designed USB hub, no problems, recommend Sunday, October 05, 2008 jumpfroggy from Wakefield, RI
I usually go for the cheap <$10 USB hubs, but I found this one on sale a while back. It looks very nice, and I liked the design, so I got it. I've had it over a year now, and I just bought another.
The hub has 7 ports, which is a lot nicer than the typical 4 port hubs. It's powered, so you should have no problem with power hungry items (like webcams, charging MP3 players, etc). The design is nice, a bit rounded but flat, and it fits well on a desk. The layout of the USB ports is very good; 4 in the back flat on the desk, and 2 up top for quick plugging. I plug a bunch of stuff in the back that I know I wont be moving, and I use the top 2 for things like memory sticks and temporarily used items.
The hub has had no problems at all, and is still going strong. It is stackable, though the top 2 ports of the bottom unit are below the surface of the first so you wouldn't want to use them too often. It has LED's in the front to see when items are plugged in (though they're not labeled). Overall the best USB hub I've used, and I haven't seen any others that I like the layout as much. Definitely recommended. Was this review helpful?
