5 of 5 wonderful graduation gift Monday, June 16, 2008
A Customer from WA
My niece almost didn't know what to do with it. Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 Perfect Solution Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Jaames from Henderson, NV
I was out of USB ports and needed a powered hub, this fit the bill perfectly while also adding a card reader into the mix. I just bought a new cell phone which uses the new Micro SD(HC) format for 4gb to 32gb cards, and at first I was afraid this wouldn't be compatible since the new format is not backwards compatible with older card readers, but it works perfectly! I am very pleased with this purchase. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 1. The wrong plug was included. 2. Don't expect po Sunday, May 18, 2008
Lorelle from Tacoma, WA
The USB cord that was in the package was the wrong one for this unit. It has a much bigger plug than the jack on the unit itself. Luckily I had an extra one on hand that was the correct size (it's the one that fits my mp3 player and digital cameras).
At first I thought the whole unit was defective, because 1) nothing lights up to show it's getting power and 2) Windows XP Pro didn't give me the standard "Hardware found" dialog box. But then I tried plugging in a Compact Flash card and voila! the light came on. And when I plugged my USB mouse into the unit, it works too. Summary: This is a great product, as long as you watch out for those minor deficiencies. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 This little device Rocks!!!! Sunday, May 11, 2008
A Customer from phoenix, az
Love this device, my laptop's performance is unbelievable improved! Have an aircard for connection, webcam, printer etc. and everything just cooperated with great ease this upon hooking it up from the box within a couple of moments, went straight to camera sd cards and so far not a problem, really can't say too much and buy.com's price is just the best!

4 of 5 Hub a keeper, but not a HubbaHubba Wednesday, April 30, 2008
A Customer from Colorado Springs, CO
<b>GOOD:</b> This is a functional USB hub. The main USB hub inputs on the back are easily accessible, and the flash drive inputs and card reader slots on the front are handy (although I have not tested them). When laid on its side as it is meant to be used (not standing in the base), rubber feet on the bottom keep the unit stable and in place. The hub provides reasonably good features for a reasonably good price. <br><br>
<b>NOTSOGOOD:</b> The USB connector cord could've been a little longer, and since it requires a USB miniplug on the hub side it prevents the use of a longer standard USB connector cord. The unit itself feels very cheaply made with a plastic shell. The stand-up base is really quite useless since the unit is so lightweight--if more than one or two cords are attached, it tends to fall out of the base or fall over. So just ignore the picture and plan to use it in the horizontal mode--that's how it is made and meant to be used. <br><br>
<b>WHATITIS:</b> If it had an aluminum case, a normal USB input plug, and I'd never seen the stand, I would have given it overall Five stars. Still, it's a decent hub for the money. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Great PS3 Accessory Monday, March 31, 2008
A Customer from Florida
This hub/card reader was purchased to replace the 2 USB ports and card readers deleted by Sony from the 40GB PS3, which it does well. Since the unit was going into a open-air cantilever-type A/V stand, aesthetics were almost as important as function, and the slim, fairly clean appearance (though I replaced the ugly silver USB to mini-USB cable it came with with a black one to further hide it) allows it to go mostly unnoticed.<br><br>
Additionally, having the majority of the USB ports on the back side of the unit hides the various dongles (for keyboard/mouse, etc.) from the casual observer nicely. As a hub and card reader (though I've only tested mine with SD), it has so far performed flawlessly. It's a little pricey as these things go, but combination hub/card readers are pretty tough to find, let alone ones that don't offend you aesthetically, so this suited my needs perfectly.

5 of 5 Great! Wednesday, March 12, 2008

This is a great gadget. It makes things so much easier to keep multiple drives running, using different cards etc. Was this review helpful?
3 of 5 Base Sunday, February 10, 2008
Dan from VA
It works but base does not hold hub in place very well. Weight or pull from attached cables pulls hub out of base easily. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 A Must Have Sunday, February 10, 2008

5 of 5 Good Product Sunday, February 10, 2008
A Customer from Armington, IL
Worked good right out of the box, WindowsXP recognized it and I had no problems. Small footprint makes it fit right on the desk in easy reach but still out of the way. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Not too bad for the money Saturday, February 09, 2008
nurdled@pitel.net from Pine Island, MN
Everything works and functions like it should. The weak point of the product is the stand you can use to have the hub mounted verticly. The stand is not very stable. Nothing that a small piece of velcro can not fix. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Great product for a great price Friday, February 01, 2008
A Customer from Syracuse, NY
This product works great for me. It was immediately detected by both Windows XP and OpenSUSE Linux on my laptop. The rear USB ports are powered, so you can charge various devices without having to have your computer on. Memory card reader/writer works like a breeze, can just drag and drop files to and from the memory card. Only minor gripe is that its so light that if you have all the lower rear ports plugged into, it may start to tip back. The provided stand has prevented it from falling back, but still a minor concern. This is completely avoidable by simply laying it horizontal if you're really nervous about it though. All features work great and I highly recommend picking one up. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 a nice product with one minor flaw Thursday, January 17, 2008
Jordan from Belows Falls, VT
It performs as advertised. The form is handy and taking all those USB ports and consolidating them down into one device along with the card readers is an EXCELLENT plan.
My one misgiving, and this is quite minor, is that the stand that is included is not very sturdy or stand and therefore the hub tends to get tipped easily. Not a big deal, but a little more money towards plastics would correct that. Was this review helpful?
