This review is from: Aluratek 4-Port USB 2.0 HubWhen 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....
This review is from: Aluratek 4-Port USB 2.0 HubIt 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....
