Summary: Works well, too light
Review: The product works great, looks nice, but it's simply too darn light to stay in place on its own.

Summary: Has power supply, but not enough power!?
Review: This hub comes with an external power supply, which in theory enables it to be used with peripherals requiring significant power (scanners, webcams, etc.); however, turns out that I could not use it to connect my webcam along with DSL modem and mouse, because the power was insufficient! Hard to believe, but true.
It is now sitting in the bottom of one of my drawers...

Summary: Reliable, economic usb hub
Review: This is a great little usb hub. It is almost inevitable to not own a hub, with all of today's peripheral devices. I highly recommend this one. It is possible to run this either by bus power, supplied from the pc main board, or by an ac adapter. I am running mine by means of an ac adapter, although I find the adapter a little bulky itself. The greatest thing about this product is from the time you fire it up, you can virtually forget about it. I've had no problems, never had to reconnect and cables, nor have I had any problems with system shut downs/restarts.

Summary: Bad Bad Bad USB Hub
Review: This thing...! I've had it for 6 months for use with my laptop. Everthing works fine when power adapter stays connected, but, as another review mentioned - it rarely does. It's Belkin's "economy" model and it shows. At least you would hope that the power cable would actually make contact. Unfortunately, I don't have an alternative to recommend.

Summary: worked fine for a while until it randomly stopped
Review: This worked fine for over a year (unpowered) and then one day it just stopped. It hasn't worked since. The LEDs don't even light up. I tried plugging it in (the adapter this comes with is huge and very heavy and unwieldy), but that didn't work either. I'm going to switch to a different brand and a powered hub. This is the only Belkin product I've ever had a bad experience with. I would definitely not buy another Belkin USB hub.

Summary: Good unit BUT AC power is useless
Review: Unit worked fine for self powered USB applications -- The power adapter will not maintain power to the hub -- even if it is left in a sturdy position and not touched. If youi can get by without ac power and use self power from your computer it is fine --- if not it's useless.

Summary: Only worked for a few weeks
Review: Worked great for a few weeks, until I started getting warning windows telling me there wasn't enough power to supply the USB devices it was connected to. Of course, then I started reading other reviews saying the same thing. Next time I'm buying a USB hub with its own power supply. Even though this wasn't expensive, it wasn't worth the money.

Summary: OK if you only need for self-powered devices
Review: Works fine as a hub but beware, it only delivers 100MA to each port, and many USB devices need more power from the hub to "see" the connection, ie: my card reader for Compact Flash and Smart Media needs 500ma but my PDA needs nothing. So I had to go out and buy a more expensive hub that delivers more power and threw this one away, a shame.
