Useless design Jul 26, 2007
By dalepres "dalepres"
When I ordered this 6 days ago, there was only one review and it was 5 stars. Had I waited, I would have already known that the cord is too short to be useful for anything. Even on my laptop. because of other cords close to the USB jacks, this would be a real pain.

It comes iwth a 1 inch cord that has a USB connector on it. The cord tucks neatly into the bottom of the hub when not in use. When in use, it doesn't give you any option of where to place the hub because the cord is so short.

I had hoped for a USB -A to -B cord so I could use the hub to extend the USB ports from my server in the pantry-turned-server-room into my office. This is not the device for that.

By the way, this is a powered hub that comes with a power supply. The rating label says 5 volts at 2 amps. Yet the power supply doesn't appear to weigh more than 2 ounces. And even with the power supply, this hub will not power my 2.5 inch portable USB disk drive yet the USB 2.0 connections on my PC will, as expected and as designed, power the drive.

Maybe I was being too kind when I gave this 2 stars.

USB hub Sep 19, 2007
By Silvia Corbera "peque"
It seems good. The only problem was its very short cable, which meant I had to spend more money to get a USB extension cable. It wouldn't necessarily be a problem for a laptop, but for a desktop it raised the cost of the hub.

USB Hub May 15, 2007
By Dencil King
It has saved me a bunch of wires running back annd forth, I do video edit and I was constantly plugging in and unplugging USB wires for hard drives, flash drives etc. Now it is all always connected

Excellent product Jul 31, 2007
By Curious Shopper
This is a great little hub. Compact and really sturdy. It comes with a power supply, but I never really needed it. It powers my portable hard drive, my mouse and other peripherals with no problems.

The cord is short, but I believe it was meant for laptop use anyway, so it works out perfectly for me.

Displeased with Item Feb 05, 2008
By Steven Ross
I am the new owner of a aluratek 4 port hub. Sad to say that when I plug it into my computer while plugged into external power it shorts my usb connector and shuts down any of my 3 pc's. I suspect it is just a defective unit. I'm not going to worry about sending back, just get another one down the road. Also the cord on this thing is so short it's useless. I am very displeased with this device. I will add that it does run my portable hard drive and charge my phone at the same time w/ no external power source.
