This review is from: Belkin F5U403 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Lighted HubI just bought this hub and there are definitely some improvements that can be made. For one thing, the USB cord is much too long - I just wanted to plug it right into my computer's USB port. A couple of inches would have been enough. Also, the ports are very close together which can be a problem when plugging in a flash drive. But one of the ports is on the end of the hub, so that is useful for things like that and leaves the other three ports for USB cords that can go side by side. There's no on/off switch for the light which might be annoying if you were working on a red eye or overnight flight with lights dimmed for the sleeping passengers.
The hub comes with a power adapter without any clear explanation of its purpose. I assumed it was just for the light because the hub normally works fine without being plugged into a power source. I later found out that it is there in case you start to draw serious power from the hub. Without the adapter, the hub is only providing 500mA for all four ports. This isn't a problem if you are using low powered devices. With the power adapter, the hub provides 500mA for each port....

Plus, this thing is so small it's unbelievable - not much bigger than the thumb drive. Nice blue lighted center, with a red light at upper left. It's pretty bright and might be distracting unless you place it out of immediate sight, like behind the monitor. Still looks cool.
I could not be more pleased with the performance - which I bet is largely due to the fact it is a powered hub. Has three slots on the right side and one in the front for easy thumb drive access....
This review is from: Belkin F5U403 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Lighted HubIt does exactly what I need from a USB hub. It's not too big and it doesn't try to squeeze in any extra bells and whistles. I also like the soft glow....
