4-Port USB Hub: Use this convenient hub to accept up to (4) USB connections on a single USB computer port
Office or Mobile: This unit features a small footprint that makes it equally well suited for office or mobile applications
Aesthetics: It features a sleek design with a lighted top that will match the aesthetics of any work environment
Passive Power: The hub receives power passively through the unit with which it is connected, meaning that there is no need to manage an additional power supply
This review is from: 4PORT USB 2.0 Lighted Hub Black .This hub does what it's supposed to, allowing you to attach USB devices without having to be at the level of the machine, or to attach more devices than there are ports on the motherboard. I like this hub: it's small, inobtrusive, and requires zero configuration. Potential buyers should note one caveat, however. The light on the unit is extremely bright and if you use the hub in self-power mode (that is, use the AC adapter that ships with it instead of it being powered by the USB bus), the light stays on even when the host machine is powered down. This may be distracting if your computer is in a bedroom, for example. It not, it would make a great night light!...
This review is from: 4PORT USB 2.0 Lighted Hub Black .I needed a 7 port, but saw all the reviews of them being underpowered, overheating wastes of money.
Bought one of these locally, was small and worked great, rather than replacing it with a 7 port, I bought a second and ganged them. 7 ports, two power supplies, haven't had a problem with underpowered ports yet. No heat build up either.
Only issues I have, it uses the small USB connecter similar to phones, so I couldn't easily use a longer cable (traded a 6' one from a hub my wife had) and the blue is really bright and always there....
This review is from: 4PORT USB 2.0 Lighted Hub Black .I tested this Belkin hub against Radio Shack's Gigaware 4 port USB Hub, an equivalent device (it wasn't called "high speed", but still was rated up to 480 Mbps). Belkin rated favorably. After attaching two external hard drives to the hub, Belkin transferred a 255MB file from external hard drive to external hard drive in 1m39s. When doing the same with the Radio Shack, the transfer took 2m11s. Belkin's power rating is 2 amps, Radio Shack is 2.6 amps, so there's some energy savings with the Belkin. And Belkin was significantly less expensive. I cannot speak to quality since I've only owned it one day. Everything about the Belkin was superior except it's appearance. That is, when powered, the blue LED is excessively bright, which is unnecessary and annoying since the device is in our bedroom. OVerall, though, I am happy with it....
