Average Customer Review:
This review is from: 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub, BlackThis USB hub works. Over the years, I've tried more than a dozen others, from Chinese no-name to Belkin and Griffin hubs with iPod docks and card readers. None of them has worked reliably, and I have ended up using my precious MacBook USB outlets (why only two??) for must-have external hard drives.
This new hub was a success right out of the box. It instantly allowed the MacBook to recognize everything I plugged in, and it has never hesitated, even with four hard drives running (I believe in backup), plus other bits and pieces. I am soooo happy not to have to wonder any more if I have a good connection.
The unit is certainly not the slimmest, if portability is important. Also, with the seven outlets all on one side, it is less convenient than the CablesToGo equivalent, which has four on one side and three on the other. That said, I now have it set up compactly, and can just forget about it.
The construction is solid, so I have no fear of damaging it with lots of replugging. The USB cable has a solid S Type connector (as is often used for printers), rather than the flimsy little camera style plug, which I assume helps performance. It also has a more than adequate power supply.
Of course, it could be that I just got lucky after years of lemons - but I don't think so. This unit is made to be functional, rather than simply looking slick, and it succeeds. Now I can get on with what I want to do, and not worry about those nasty crashes....
This review is from: 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub, BlackI had a Belkin 7 port powered hub and just couldn't get more than three things to be recognized at once. So, off I go to Office Depot and buy another Belkin hub. Exactly the same problem. One day the thought occurs to me that maybe this hub is underpowered. Not a big enough power supply. I don't have any way to test this, but with this hub, all seven devices connect up no problemo and run just fine. Wish the light had come on earlier and I'd bought this first....
This review is from: 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub, BlackThis is a quality product. Good materials, well-made; all ports work; the design is attractive and compact; hub stays on desk, no mounting necessary. Very good price, fast shipping. Considerate followup by Cyberguys to boot -- these people know that doing business is about providing value and service (not just 'making money')....
