Pros: This part is everything advertised. Ample power for high demand devices, switches to turn them off when they're not needed, and plenty of ports to go around. The connectors were also really stiff when I got the hub, so I have no worries of loose connections. Also, the included compact USB cable is fantastic for other applications

Cons: The USB cable that came with it is a little short for my desk, but I wasn't planning on using that one to go to my hub anyways.

Other Thoughts: I purchased this because I wanted the switched ports, as I don't like to leave idle drives spinning. Shortly after ordering it, I started having problems with a portable drive of mine. I hooked it up through this hub and everything is running fine now.

Oh, and the rectangles that correspond to each port are not just for labeling. They light up when you turn the port on, which is awesome!

Pros: just like any other cable of this type, its an inexpensive adaptor/cable combo. The construction is not cheap either

Cons: I should have gotten a longer one

Other Thoughts: Some TV/Computer combinations can occasionally cause odd things to happen. most of these are not the cable's fault, but I have encountered a case where a glitch makes it look like the cable is broken (its not though)
