This review is from: Belkin High-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port HubSadly this USB hub broke in the same manner as reported by the other disappointed reviewers. After 6 months it simply stopped showing a green light and all devices you would hook into it would not appear. Disappointing to pay $30+ for a device that lasts such a small period of time. I would have considered it a fluke if not for the myriad of others having the same issue. Buyer beware....

This review is from: Belkin High-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port HubI like the idea of being able to stack these usb hubs however this particular model has had widespread problems with heating issues. I thought maybe it was just mine but after reading other reviews on this site and others it's not - a lot of these hubs end up overheating and basically shutting off. This will then not come back up unless you turn the hub off and back on again after it's cooled down a bit. This also means that you can't use it to connect any critical components such as a usb mouse or keyboard to it (obviously not a great product if you are afraid to use it for its intended purpose). I like belkin products but come on already and get a new version out for us. What a waste of money....

This review is from: Belkin High-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port HubI used this at work -- it's what the IT guys gave me when I asked for a USB hub. It worked flawlessly for about 6 months or so. Then my computer started complaining that it couldn't recognize what it was any more, even with no USB devices plugged into it. If I powered it down for maybe a half an hour then re-connected it, everything was fine for several weeks... then it would happen again. I went through several cycles of this, but eventually it stopped working for good.



I went to our IT guys and told them it had died. They gave me another one (same model) and the same thing happened -- okay for about half a year, then erratic, then dead. Both were rev 3's.



I love the design, especially the top-loading ports. But given my track record with this hub, I can't recommend it. It would probably be okay, though, if you don't plan to keep it powered 24/7....
