Customer Reviews

Toughness over feature
Having owned 2 of these units for more than 2 years now, I am finally ready to review this. My config link two of the same hubs.

Pros:
1.) Very cool looking hub.

2.) No overheats, no matter how many devices of different types are doing transfers. I have done as much as 5 usb thumbdrives full transfers at once before.

3.) Great for devices that doesn't require high speed: scanners, security dongle keys, controllers.

4.) One very tough hub. In the past I have had hubs that occasionally act up with out of control lights etc. This one is consistently in the same mood every day.

5.) Very light.

Cons:
1.) When any usb 1.0 device is plugged into the hub, it runs everything at usb 1.0 speed. Doesn't matter the order.

2.) Even when 2 usb hubs are connected to one another, the speed of both hubs will drop as soon as something usb 1.0 is plugged in. Doesn't matter which port on which hub.

3.) Even when running at usb 2.0 speed, it cannot match regular usb 2.0 data transfer speed of you plugging a device directly into the motherboard ports.

4.) For some reason western digital Mybook storage devices really struggle with this hub. It maybe just my storage device?

It works
Not too much to add. I plugged it in, & it works. I'm able to plug in all my USB Devices now.

I don't have a lot of space, so the small footprint is great.

The best
After repeated failures of other brands of USB hubs I bought one D-Link to replace a cranky one. It performed so well I replaced all the other hubs on my system with a second D-Link. After 2 months there has never been a failure. Good product, highly recommend it.
