Great ProductSeptember 18, 2008 Small, slimline and portable too. Works great in my small office or on the road.
Don't be lulled by the good reviewsSeptember 17, 2008 I bought this unit based on these reviews, and it slowly stopped working, one hub at a time, until now, not quite 2 years later, it has died. I'm on an iMac, and did not have any system problems with it, but would prefer to have equipment that will last. We didn't have alot of externals on the unit, but it has been "plugged in" so perhaps you should just expect this unit to only last less than 2 years if you buy it.
Highly recommendedSeptember 1, 2008 I've had this hub for a month and a half, and so far so good. I have a variety of USB 1 and 2 peripherals hooked up to it, and the 2s (three hard drives and a scanner) seem to work at full speed. A few reviewers mentioned that the hub slides around in its base. Apparently, Cables To Go heard the complaints: My unit came with a sticky pad to adhere inside the base to make the fit secure. (I don't know why anyone would actually want the drive to slide around. To each his own.) The light on top *is* kind of silly, since it's always on, even if the hub is unplugged. It doesn't bother me because it's lost in the tangle of cables and peripherals behind my notebook.
Most other seven-port hubs have such negative reviews that I was going to try to get by with a couple four-port hubs instead. The reviews for this unit, however, made it seem like a reasonable risk. I spent more to get it from Amazon, rather than buy.com, because Amazon gives a little more time for returns and has a good reputation for standing by their products. I'm happy with this hub and recommend it to others.
An Excellent ChoiceAugust 23, 2008 Cables To Go 7 Port USB 2.0 hub a great product. Its sturdy slim elongated aluminum case construction gives it some weight and durability. Mounting screws and bracket (included) provide a means for securing this device to a desktop or like I have done, to the side of my desk where it is out of the way yet still very accessible. The great thing about the mounting bracket is that you can slide the hub out of the bracket at any given time when you need to. There are four ports to the rear and three in the front. A LED light on top provides a light blue luminance indicating power is on. It is less costly than other 7 port hubs that I have shopped for and I believe to be the best.
Great product ,great customer service !August 22, 2008 When I first recieved my hub from Amazon/Cables To Go ,I was excited to hook it up and use it for a couple of accessories I had to plug into it ! Well I had read the reviews and the main complaint I read about was that the blue lite was way to bright ,some said it was blinding ,others said it wsa so bright they could use it for a night lite . Well my PC color scheme has blue lighting ,my keyboard is a Logitech G-15 in which all the keys are backlite in blue. Would'nt you knoww it the lite on my new hub was non-functionial I tried pluging it into differant sockets and still no light. Well I right away sent an email off to Amazon Customer Service and the gave me a return postage paid reciept to returrn the one I recieved and said they would send a new one to me ! I recieved the new one the very next day and the light did work on the new one. Let me tell you the lite is in no way a distraction or to bright ,I cant believe how much some exaggerated about the lite. Its a a great Hub and I would recomend it highly to others ! Take Care Nick
