Rating: Summary: Good looking but short lived Review: I bought it because it looked cute and small. Used it for 7 months, and the middle 2 ports gave up. All of a sudden it wouldn't recognize the keyboard, mouse or printer with those ports. I tried plugging in some other things, those ports can still give power to my cooling fan though.
Rating: Summary: Micro Miles Review: Other than two minor flaws this hub does just fine. It would be nice if it could simply be system powered, as are others, without the need for A/C. Also the unit does need some "cool down" time before you put it away.

Rating: Summary: Good, but far from perfect Review: The first thing you notice is that this hub is impossibly small, and very cleanly designed. But once you plug it in the benefits of the size fade quickly...it gets incredibly hot very fast, probably because it is so small. It just doesn't seem like a good trade off. Go for a larger, more mainstream solution unless size is important.
Rating: Summary: Minor flaws, otherwise works quite well. Review: This device is as advertised, small, portable, easy to use, etc. It comes with an A/C adapter that is not required for non-bus powered devices. The adapter is useful (and necessary it appears) for bus powered external drives. It has a 3 year warrenty and is extremely reasonably priced. There are 3 minor flaws:1. The device does heat up as noted by the previous reviewer. 2. The uplink cable is mounted upside down, so the device sits on its back when connected to my laptop. This is minorly annoying, and I could turn it over, but I'm afraid it will cause damage to the cable. 3. This device cannot power a bus-powered device without the A/C adapter, even if its the only thing plugged into the hub. This is understandable since those devices draw nearly the entire 500mA supported by USB ports. All in all, a decent buy, even with these minor flaws, I am very happy with it.

Rating: Summary: Same as previous poster Review: Uncanny, but my hub had the same problem - mine lasted for about 1 year, but now the middle two ports don't recognize devices.
Wierd. When it worked I loved it, though.
Rating: Summary: Hard crashes on Win2000 Review: When used on a USB2.0 port on my Win2000 box it causes a hard crash during driver installation. Works OK in a USB1.1 port. Case does get quite warm during use.
