Hub – 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub with External Power Source (110~240V AC Adapter) Reviews

posted by Tarzanus on 04/22/2010 Certified Owner

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

Pros:
- Good thing to have if you need toplug many USB devices into your PC or laptop. - It has it's own power supply which comes handy with USB HDDs or even USB DVD recorders. - It's small, looks great and you get little folder so it stands on your table. - USB 2.0 capable. Wouldn't even mention it, but some of other users reported, that they got USB 1.1 device
Cons:
- Extremely bright blue LED diode. Few of these and you can light up your room :) - It acts strange from time to time -> you have to plug it out from your computer and reinsert it to make it work again. That happened like 5 times in one month. - USB cable that was included didn't work. When I replaced it, Hub started to work, but it still has glitches, mentioned above
Other:
Bottomline:
It's always good to have one of these, because not all USB ports are capable of supplying 500mV and that's a must for almost all external 2,5" USB HDDs. Overall, I'm more than satisfied with this device, it could be better tho.
