2 out of 5 eggsneeds improvement

Pros: good price, 4 ports, works with MBP, near USB 2.0 speeds, works reliably with USB drives

Cons: irritating high-pitched whine when in use because it does not seat well in Express 34 card slot. reinserting card sometimes reduces the noise, but it is fairly persistent.

2 out of 5 eggsWorthless

Pros: 4 slots, good price. Not too bulky.

Cons: Where to start.. The Card falls out of the express slot VERY easily. I can't seem to find a power adapter for it, and the amount of power this hub sends out is pitiful. It's just enough to power my wireless mouse and keyboard...that's about it. I bought this as an upgrade from the default USB on the pavillion dv 9000z. I expected to use my usb mixer, external hard drive, zune...etc with it. unfortunately, none of these can be powered by the thing.

Too bad.

3 out of 5 eggsIt looks good on paper.

Pros: Very Low Price compared to other products available
4 USB ports, better than other products available

Cons: Card "accidentally" falls out of the slot too easy - requires a computer reboot to make it work again
Doesn't come with a 5v Charger, and these aren't too common nowadays. PSP also uses a 5v but it doesn't work with this product. Hard to find a matching charger, too...

Other Thoughts: I accidentally broke both of my USB ports on my laptop and I was forced to get one of these...the wider ones do not work, and it was a pain to get a card that works with my laptop - and I found this. It works pretty good - when it's backed up with power. alone, it won't even run an ipod plugged to it...need more power. It requires 2000mA to power up all 4 USB slots, and the universal chargers I found only supported up to 500mA, and since using more was not recommended, I didn't get one. Luckily I had an extra USB 4-port hub, which worked without requiring more power, and managed to use all 4 hubs. it's really a waste of # of USB ports if you don't have proper power. Other than that, it has potential.

Lastly, It might be the card, but it pulls out too easily - and it requires a reboot to make the card work again...I have a laptop so I move it around a lot, and it's becoming a huge hassle for me.
