Airnet AUH104 4 Ports USB2.0 Hub

Pros: This hub uses the GL850A Chipset which uses less power than any other USB 2.0 hub. This hub is small and good looking.

Cons: The short USB cable is not well attached(no strain relief and cold soldered) and can easily be broken off the circuit board. The GL850A chipset is marginally slower than the GL852 chipset. This hub doesn't come with a power brick.

Overall Review: The first thing I did was open this thing up and was pleasantly suprised to find it was a GL850A. I also accidently broke two of the four USB connections for the short incomming USB wire by simply moving it a little. This is still the best hub for the money.

Pros: -Cheap -Works at 2.0 speed -Small and compact -Comes with a 12" USB extension cable.

Cons: -At first the hib would flicker on and off like there was a bad connection, but that has stopped. -unpowered, not a major issue with many devices, but if need a powered hub look elsewhere.

Pros: It's slim, and the connection tucks away nicely when not in use. Airnet was also thoughtful enough to include a USB extension cable. It can also accept an AC adapter. It looks cool, too.

Cons: The blue LED on the thing is too bright and obnoxious. I prefer another hub I have that has subtler LEDs that show each port's activity.

Overall Review: Though it can accept an AC adapter, it doesn't come with one. I don't list this as a con, though, since the unit would cost more. Instead, it gives the unit a cheap initial price and the potential to be a powered hub.

Pros: Looks good Convenient

Cons: Keeps "disconnecting" my mouse, so I have to reconnect my mouse about once a day or so, some times more, very annoying

Overall Review: I would avoid buying this just to save the annoyance.

Pros: Small footprint, works well.

Cons: Included USB cable is short. Need an extension usually.

Pros: Blue light, unobtrusive

Cons: Occasionally when I have external drive + WACOM pad + USB speakers all hooked up, the WACOM will drop out.

Overall Review: Basically excellent for the price

Pros: Recently built a home-brew PVR which I wanted to have sit behind the entertainment center - this was great for allowing me to inconspicuously hide a few USB ports for emergency keyboard/mouse access.

Cons: Not powered, although there is a DC input jack if you would like to purchase a power adapter separately.

Overall Review: Cord is a little on the short side.

Pros: Plug-in and go - Not a single hiccup. Can't be easier or better. My PC (WinXP) recognized immediately. Software (Roxio) recognized automatically. Convert DV video to PC then to burn to DVD - all as expected.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Two independent ports and one shared port. If have labels on the outside next to the ports will be convenient.
