This review is from: USB 2.0 7PORT Economy HubI was looking for a hub that is always powered on, so I could use it as a charger for the iPod. One person's dislike is another's delight! The always-on feature may seem dumb, but it is a great feature for people who may use it as a charger.
This is the ONLY hub that allows us to plug and unplug (into/away from) the hub with ONLY ONE hand. The other ones all require that you hold the hub or velcro the hub to the desk, which is really a sticky situation (in more ways than one).
I highly recommend this model....
This review is from: USB 2.0 7PORT Economy HubNearly every peripheral or device that can connect to a PC these days uses the USB port, from printers, to mice, external drives, PDAs, wireless adapters and flash memory. It doesn't take very long before the top of your desk disappears under a wiggly maze of wires.
I personally reached the point where my older 4-port 1.0 hub and twin 2.0 inputs on my laptop just weren't cutting it. And I didn't want a second hub adding to the clutter of my home office workspace. Not only that, but the widespread adoption of the faster 2.0 USB technology standard has made 1.0 close to obsolete.
After spending considerable time searching for a 7-port 2.0 alternative, I was getting frustrated at the choices available, which ranged from the poorly designed to the outright expensive. Most were the identical mass-produced model with a different company logo sticker slapped on the top.
Then Belkin entered this market segment and made my choice an easy one. Here's why:
1. I have previously owned Belkin USB hubs and found them to be well-built and rock-solid dependable. This is important to me because of the high failure rate I've experienced with less-expensive generic hubs. And while a USB hub seems like a simple enough device, it's rapidly become an essential piece of hardware for any computer system.
2. The slim, sleek, ergonomic design was attractive and the two ports on the top of the device (in addition to the five in the rear) were perfect for mice and flash storage drives -- even though I didn't realize it at the time.
3. A decent price, all things considered.
From the minute I plugged this hub in six months ago it has run flawlessly. I absolutely love it. In fact, I recently purchased two more, one for my daughter's laptop and another as a Christmas present. You simply can't go wrong here....
This review is from: USB 2.0 7PORT Economy HubThis USB HUB works perfectly. Previous reviewers are confused about "required drivers", which are not necessary for USB hubs since they are built into Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
I haven't had any problem with it at all, nor any of the many other USB Hubs that I have used.
This HUB is BETTER, though, becuase of the two top connections. I have 5 devices connected almost all the time and a number of other devices (camera, camcorder, DVD burner, GPS, Sandisk Cruzer driver, etc.) all of which are EASY to insert, eject because of the way this device is configured.
It really is much more convenient to work with than most others....
