The initial install experience was good, and I like the form factor.

Unfortunately, after less than six months, devices plugged into the hub began behaving erratically. Mouse pointers would jump all over the screen, my SmartPhone couldn't get a consistent connection to synch, etc. The same devices plugged straight into a USB port on the computer worked fine, so it was definitely the hub that went bad. It had the same power source as everything else, so it's unlikely that there was an external cause such as a power surge.

I'm now shopping for another hub, and I won't be getting another one of these.

The only problem that I found out after buying it is that I didn't know how to find out what kind of hubs I had on my computer,so I thought that it was going to work as a 2.0 hub but no since the computer only have 1.1 hub it's just working as a 1.1 hub but that was just my mistake, don't let this happens to you ! So I give it a five star because it is working fine !

This is a heavy, stable product that keeps its position on your desk. The connections are solid and reliable. If you haven't bought a USB hub before, look around the web. Many are inadequate, I'm not sure why. So this one is worth the money.

For a long time I was having problems with USB 2.0 items not showing after reboot or items such as drives not mounting. Well this hub has changed all that. All my items show on boot and never get lost. I highly recommend this item.

Installed this hub on my laptop this afternoon & it couldn't have been easier. Works very well. In fact, my downloads seem faster.
