Simple, small, inexpensive
(5 out of 5) by Stuart Floyd on Jun 9, 2008 (New York, NY)Another great product from Belkin. I have used it when traveling with my laptop to hook up extra equipment. I have used it at home with my desktop for some added USB-2 level ports. It is great as it is very small and can fit in a shirt pocket, backpack, shoulder bag or purse. It provides you with 4 ports, high speed transfer rates and it is plug and play so NO SOFTWARE required which is always a good thing. If you need more ports for any USB device this would be a great one, if you require more ports you have several good choices right here on Amazon.

Good basic hub, but no power adapter
(3 out of 5) by B'mbay Monkey on Jun 24, 2008 (Los Angeles, CA)I like the design of this USB hub but I wish the tail was a bit longer so I could hide the other four ports behind something.
This basic hub works well for many USB devices but if you need a hub to support USB 2.0 devices that require power, like an external hard drive, you need to know that this isn't a powered hub (no power adapter).

Solid product, and no power supply
(5 out of 5) by HNL on Mar 24, 2008I wanted a USB hub that didn't need a power supply. Inexpensive and functional. Just what I was looking for

Belkin - a four port USB hub
(5 out of 5) by Mark T. Von Seggern on Jun 9, 2008 (Denver, CO USA)If you need a 4 port unpowered USB hub this one works nicely for me. I have a 4GB SanDisk Cruzer an eleven GB Drive Eight GB Microdrive and a mouse connected. so far every time I power up my laptop everything has always been recognized.

Good Product for a Good Price
(5 out of 5) by Ken Wilkinson on Dec 29, 2008 (Long Island, New York)I needed a USB hub for my PS3, and oddly enough this was a difficult decision.
Powered or un-powered?
Expensive or Cheap - why are the prices of these so wide spread?
There are concerns that powered ones can send power back up into the console and damage it, as well as issues of hooking too many peripherals onto it (an un-powered one) and over drawing power from the console.
I have been using this one for a few months and I think I made the right choice.
I have the PS3 with the following peripherals:
- USB Microphone (Karaoke) (Not for me I Swear!)
- Logitech GT Racing Wheel
- Eye (Web Cam & Integrated Microphone)
- External Hard Drive
With all of that how do you plug in a USB Thumb Drive or charge your controllers?
This is a simple solution that works from a legitimate company for a low price.
