Hi-Speed 7 Port USB 2.0 Hub +Power AC Adapter for PC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This item works exactly as described.
I wouldn't purchase this item again for the same reason I purchased it; The brights are extremely bright. It lights up a room. The whole unit is lit with a bright blue light in the middle that flashes. It would be nice if this center light could be dimmed or switched off.
The port lights are steady and I have no issue with them, only the center light.
Perhaps I may need to attach this item to the bottom of the desk.

Belkin F5U301 CableFree 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub with Dongle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A wireless USB hub is very appealing. The implementation of this one makes it useless.
The software only runs on Windows XP. There are no Vista drivers. The hub does not work until you've logged in and even then, it takes a few seconds. Since you have to have log in before the hub will work, your mouse and keyboard can't be plugged in to the wireless hub. This also means that USB audio devices that must be plugged in at boot will not work. I don't understand why Windows requires USB audio devices to be plugged in at boot, but that's Microsoft's fault, not Belkins.
It gets better. Yesterday, we rebooted the machine and my brother logged in with his account. The wireless hub didn't work at all because the software wasn't installed for him. Why would the installer even bother installing this software for only one user? No problem, we installed the software on his account. Reboot. Everything seemed to work. Fast user switch to my account and the software freaks out because the software running on his account is using the device. The USB devices attached to that hub go offline.
To Summarize:
- No Vista support
- Can't use it for keyboard/mouse
- No support for multiple user accounts
- Fast user switching messes it up
However tempted you may be, don't buy this product until they address these issues. This product is not ready for prime time. On the plus side, it seems like all of these problems are just related to software. If Belkin decides to, they could probably fix all of these problems in software.

Logitech Alto Connect Notebook Stand Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this stand for use with my 13" MacBook Pro. After using this stand for a week I can say that it does not operate as a implied. As a stand I would rate it a 5 star, the design of the stand is simple, usb ports are laid out in a effective manner, and it has rubber padding to protect against scratching the laptop. The built in cable management is functional (barely but good enough).
Where this product looses two stars is that the device requires a AC adapter yet it is not a true powered USB hub. What this means is high powered devices like portable hard drives will not work properly; I personally experienced power-up and power-downs with both my new Seagate FreeAgent Go and older WD Passport Go/Simpletech drives. It seems to work fine with flash drives and my webcam. Another area that you may be affected by not being a true powered hub is if you have a device that draws power from USB even when the computer is off such as the Logitech G5 wireless reciever which doubles as a battery charger; it recieves no power when the laptop is off and thus does not charge the battery.
I can't understand why Logitech designed it this way as it would have been a perfect five star if it was a true powered hub. Despite the issue with usb power, I went ahead and bought a second one for my 15" Sony laptop because as a stand it the design is top notch, and compared to everything in its price range ($40)it is far more functional.
I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a laptop stand first, with the USB hub part as a "nice to have" since it effectively is a non-powered hub.

Adaptec DuoConnect AUA-3020 USB / FireWire adapter - 6 ports (2132000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Computer folks love to talk about the latest, greatest hard drives, flat-panel monitors, video cards and the like. Little mention is made of basic utilitarian components such as this.
That said, the Adaptec DuoConnect AUA-3020 provides solid performance and system expansion and does it well, while calling no particular attention to itself. With its own power connector, this card allows a practically unlimited number of USB/FireWire devices to be connected to a computer.
I've connected a printer, a scanner, and two external hard drives to this device and download digital camcorder DV via FireWire. All connected devices communicate stably, quickly, and reliably, freeing up my front-panel USB ports for other devices such as digital cameras and flash drives.
If you need additional USB or FireWire ports, this Adaptec device is the answer.

Hi-Speed 7 Port USB 2.0 Hub +Power AC Adapter for PC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Hi-Speed 7 Port USB 2.0 Hub +Power AC Adapter for PC - I only put one star because i couldn't choose ZERO! DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT! I bought one for my daughter at college. When she plugged it into her computer, it shorted out ALL the USBs and the mother board had to be replaced! The company (HDE) said that in order for them to "make it right," they needed 100% proof that it was this device that caused the problem. Thank goodness it was still under warranty. The computer company determined the problem, which they said was plugging this device into the USB port, and they sent us a new mother board. Seems like common sense to me... everything is ok, plug the device in, nothing works! hmm. wonder what the problem could be? Then after asking them for a refund, it was not sent. I called HDE 2 months later to find out what happened to my refund. They said all my information was lost. I finally got the refund. I would not buy this product or deal with this company again if THEY paid ME!

Targus PAUH217U 4 Port Ultra Mini USB 2.0 Hub Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great product at a great price. I bought one of these for my laptop to add to the number of USB ports available. I liked it so much, I bought another for my desktop to simply make the ports more accessible. The supplied cord is plenty long to reach the desktop on the floor and then I simply Velcro'ed the Targus to my desk to make plugging and unplugging USB devices much more convenient. The Targus works right out of the box, no install required and it works on every computer I've tried -- no problems. I must confess, the blue LED's look pretty cool too!

Kensington DomeHub 7-port USB 2.0 Hub with FlyLight Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Kensington 7 Port USB 2.0 Dome Hub is a superb piece of user-centred design.
For years I've used USB ports that technically did their job, but failed in other areas. Take the most recent that I've been using - made by GE, it suffers from design flaws that are truly infuriating. First, there is not enough space between the USB port sockets, so that USB leads that have fat plugs cannot be plugged in next to each other. Secondly, the unit is so light (despite being a seven-port hub) that it slides around my desk whenever I move one of the leads that are plugged into it. It might work technically as a hub, but as a piece of useful technology it's hopeless. It has quite clearly never actually been tested by a real end-user in a working environment.
The Kensington 7 Port USB 2.0 Dome Hub, on the other hand, is superbly designed. Its rounded shape means that the USB lead plugs are adequately separated and all the ports can accommodate a lead with a fat plug. One of the ports is conveniently located right at the top of the dome, perfect positioning for items that are frequently plugged and unplugged, such as pen drives. And, the unit is heavily weighted, and never slides around my desk. And, it looks superb as well. Highly recommended.
