 Perfect for the Price Dec 30, 2008
This is a wonderful device, if you can catch it at a good sale. Unlike many USB hubs, it is actually good looking enough to be worthy of your desk. It feels sturdy and well made.
I will buy another for myself (the last one was for my hubby) the next time they are on sale.

Versatile, Quality USB Hub at an Affordable Price Dec 18, 2008
This is a high-quality, versatile USB hub at a bargain price. I am a very pleased owner of several Belkin products, and always look to the Belkin name for quality & problem-free use. This hub was no exception.
I purchased it for my Windows Vista 64 desktop PC (no brand name - I built the system from components). It was "plug-and-play" easy to install, w/ no additional drivers needed. Vista 64 recognized it without a hitch, as well as any other devices I have plugged into the hub, both powered (printer) and non-powered (mouse & keyboard). It includes an AC power supply which I like for desktop hubs - I have found over the years that some non-powered hubs do not play well with non-powered USB devices.
It looks attractive sitting on my PC tower case which is black as well, and I like the additional thought that went into designing the base to serve also as a "knick-knack" tray (for paperclips, etc.). But to me the "killer feature" of this hub is that it is two hubs in one. The black base features 3 USB ports, while the removable silver attachment has an additional 4 USB ports. There are electrical contacts on the bottom of this attachment so that, when plugged into the base, it is powered. When removed, it acts as a standalone, non-powered travel hub, great for laptop use. (And, in fact, when the silver travel hub attachment is disconnected from the black base, the black base then has 4 available ports - the three on the back & the one that the travel hub attachment plugs into). I use the travel hub sometimes on my MacBook Pro, and it works great, even with two non-powered devices - a mouse and a Kensington numeric keypad. Another reviewer mentioned that the travel hub section was too "thick" to be used on a MacBook - it is indeed just a little bit thicker than the Macbook Pro itself such that when you place the MacBook Pro flat on a table, it pushes up a wee little bit on the hub - but not enough to make it unusable. Regardless, I use a laptop stand that makes this a moot point for me.
A final nice touch on the travel hub portion is that it swivels 180 degrees so it can be twisted out of the way of other ports, etc. on a laptop. Or, you could even turn it to a more convenient position while it is plugged into the base, although in that case the top attachment would function as only a non-powered hub if swiveled as the two electrical contacts would not contact their mates on the base.

 A great usb hub... Beats others flat, even in terms of price. Dec 12, 2008
I have a macbook pro and it just has 2 usb ports and I wanted more, so I just sat online and browsed through a large variety of usb hubs on amazon, but ended up buying this one. First of all, I trust Belkin's quality and nice finish, so I didn't even worry about the brand name, but I was attracted immediately when I saw the price... :O. A little above $20 for a 7 port Belkin usb hub is a steal, especially when it's externally powered, which is good for two reasons - 1. It's faster than the conventional expander 2. I don't really need it to be connected to my laptop when I want to charge my iPhone on the dock. Another good thing about it is the detachable 4 port, that you can take around with the base still resting in it's original place (though it's not really helpful for someone with a macbook as the height of the usb ports is not enough for it to be plugged in when kept on a flat surface, it's kind of thick). Also, I don't really use any drivers for it, it's just plug and play, but just remember you disconnect all your devices like ipod and external hard drive, from the programs before you unplug the hub from the computer. Overall, it's a cool product for an excellent price, that keeps my desktop clutter free and always ready with a vacant usb port.
Belkin has done it again! Nov 10, 2008
This is an excelent hub that can switch from 7 ports to 4 in a second. Great for on the go users as well as home users. Covers it all!
I would recommend this product to anyone!
