This review is from: Targus 7-Port USB 2.0 Desktop Hub with Audio Pass-Through ACH81US (Silver)I personally tested 8 different 7 port usb hubs for use in
a computer science testbed and this is the only one that
actually behaves properly according to the USB specs
in terms of supplying power from the external transformer.
All the others drew too much current from the USB cable,
didn't communicate properly with our devices or stopped working after a few months. The testbed has been running
for a few years and these hubs have been working great.
I use them myself also. I highly recommend them....
This review is from: Targus 7-Port USB 2.0 Desktop Hub with Audio Pass-Through ACH81US (Silver)On seeing this hub online, I thought the design strange, but since it seemed to have everything I wanted, I decided to risk it. What I was looking for: a 7-port 2.0 hub that would accomodate my extra USB devices safely and firmly. I've been using it for about a month and have no complaints. One of my pet peeves with USB hubs are ports that are too closely spaced, not allowing wider devices -- case with my SDHC card reader -- to be attached along with other devices. No such issue with the Targus. It works extremely well (so much so that I tend to forget that it is there), sits solidly on my desk vertically, which means a small footprint and simply does what it has to do. I use the external power connector that shipped with the product, as I figured that 7 ports would be too much for a USB-powered hub to handle. The two "always on" ports are a particularly good idea, as they allow you to charge USB-powered devices (such as an MP3 player) even when the computer is off. I haven't tried the mic and headphone jacks because there was no need, but all else works just fine....
This review is from: Targus 7-Port USB 2.0 Desktop Hub with Audio Pass-Through ACH81US (Silver)Works well without the extra power. Tossed several hubs over 3 year period. This looks like a keeper....
