Worked fine for a week and then simply stopped working. Have tested power supply etc. but no luck.

This hub works great! It's cheap, small, and has an easy plug'n'play installation. I needed a powered hub for my WD passport external hard drive and this came through (my Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop's hubs didn't have enough power to run the hd). Just know the USB cord is very short...for all those out there with laptops this shouldn't be a problem. My old hub (before it died) sat at the same position, with a longer cord I had to tie up to keep it tidy...so for me, the short cord is actually better. The only downside is that the ports are not offset at all, so if you have any wide plugs you might have to sacrifice the port next to it. I've only had it for about a month, so I can't comment on durability, but so far it's been great.

This was extremely simple to use, and works just fine.

This little device is very good. It is small, elegant and sexy. I cant begin to explain all the women i have gotten because of this usb port, it is the wildest thing i have ever seen. As soon as the ladies see it they stop dead and say "take me now."

Anyway...is a usb hub. It works fine. I run it on a imac OS X 10.5 and have had no problems what so ever. Its great because it has its own power supply, which allows for no loss of speed. I run a multi card reader, ipod charger, 40gp portable HD and I usually leave the last slot open for my flash drive. Using my old hub, without an independent power supply, I could not connect those items without one of them screwing up from lack of power. This FIXED ALL MY PROBLEMS.

Fancy look on the machine and very useful. Reliefs you from plugging and unpluggin usb drives.

A friendly accessory
