Hi, I've had one of these hubs for more than a year now and love it! Very dependable, and the two top loading USB slots are great and very convenient for USB flash drives. Now, these fine hubs are getting a bit hard to find... except here at wonderful newegg.com! I bought two extra... at a price each of less than half what I paid for the first one at a leading office supply store (now they just sell their own brand of hubs; Grrrrrrrr). This product is slim, stylish, has great looks, even fits in a laptop case, and of course is is Belkin quality.
Nothing not to be happy with here!
The box with these two hubs in it came exceedingly crushed by some neanderthals at UPS... but again... Newegg and its superior packing saved the day as the box was stuff full of protective peanut packing. Thanks so much Newegg, you rule!!
Pros:great form design! Newer ones (3-4 mo) leds only light on active ports not all.
Cons:Unreliable/overheating,has killed other devices,if you stack more than 2 blocks access to top ports
I owned 4 of these hubs,2 older and 2 more recent. 2 have died. They get very hot,especially when stacked ( I quit stacking them). Unreliable power out,despite huge powersupply bricks. Frequent connection issues. One of the newer ones just killed 2 flash drives and smells bad. I am chucking them all and starting over...
Note:This review originally written in late 2007,submitted again as product was a disaster,and appears the same as it was then
