 Good hub Jul 23, 2008
By N. Roberts
This hub does what it's supposed to, allowing you to attach USB devices without having to be at the level of the machine, or to attach more devices than there are ports on the motherboard. I like this hub: it's small, inobtrusive, and requires zero configuration. Potential buyers should note one caveat, however. The light on the unit is extremely bright and if you use the hub in self-power mode (that is, use the AC adapter that ships with it instead of it being powered by the USB bus), the light stays on even when the host machine is powered down. This may be distracting if your computer is in a bedroom, for example. It not, it would make a great night light!

Nice, sleek, powerful Jul 15, 2008
By Trip Bauer
I needed a 7 port, but saw all the reviews of them being underpowered, overheating wastes of money.
Bought one of these locally, was small and worked great, rather than replacing it with a 7 port, I bought a second and ganged them. 7 ports, two power supplies, haven't had a problem with underpowered ports yet. No heat build up either.
Only issues I have, it uses the small USB connecter similar to phones, so I couldn't easily use a longer cable (traded a 6' one from a hub my wife had) and the blue is really bright and always there.

High transfer rate and low power usage Feb 24, 2011
By Consumer
I purchased this device and Radio Shack's Gigaware 4 port USB Hub as a means of comparison. You may not be interested in the Shack's product, but my analysis describes how much better the Belkin is relative to one of its competitors.
Both devices are equivalent in rated speed: up to 480 Mbps. After attaching two external hard drives to the hub and my computer, Belkin transferred a 255MB file from external hard drive to external hard drive in 1m39s. When doing the same with the Radio Shack, the transfer took 2m11s. Belkin's power rating is 2 amps, Radio Shack is 2.6 amps, so there's some energy savings with the Belkin. And Belkin was significantly less expensive. Everything about the Belkin was superior to the Shack's device except its appearance. That is, when powered, the Belkin's blue LED is excessively bright, which is unnecessary and annoying since the device is in our bedroom.
I have owned it 2 years, have run it every day all day, and it still is working great. I'd definitely buy it again.
 Great product Nov 06, 2010

Just as the name says "Belkin". This model has no heat or speed issues. Wait did I say no heat or speed issues yes I did. The only thing I didn't know about this 4 port Hub was that it comes with a power supply cord to get the speed advantage power supply must be plugged in, but once again no heat or speed issues. I do suggest the 6ft or longer usb cord though. Well good deal.
