 Beware, this is a USB 1.1 hub March 4, 2008

Well, like the title says, this is a USB 1.1 hub, unless none of the USB gadgets you are going to plug in are data intensive this is a good hub.
Basically, this hub is good for mouse, keyboard, usb fans, usb remote etc. kind of equipment; if you are thinking of plugging in data intensive enquipment like hard drives, usb flash drives, just forget this hub.
If you use this hub to plug in a hard drive into your computer, then data read/write speed will be very low; USB2 has been out for quite a while now. So do yourself a favour and get a USB2 hub, there are a couple nice ones here on Amazon's site, same price.

Arrived, plugged in adapter which is a block with 13A plug integrated, fired up and everything works fine. It looks cool, it runs cool and its small enough to sit on the desk.Enough power to run everything I use, Scanner, graphic pad, modem, two printers and a pair of Logitech speakers.
Well it lasted 4 hours October 10, 2007

I sat in all morning eagerly awaiting my new Hub. I had tidied up the cables and planned where everything should go. When the hub arrived, though, I was rather disappointed. It was wired with a 2 pin plug and not the UK 3 pin I was expecting. I now have to live with an adapter sticking out of my wall, which isn't the end of the world, but wasn't what I would have chosen. The Hub does work well and I can use the first 4 ports without the power adapter so all is not lost. I would have chosen a different product if I had known about the plug though.

This hub is just what i needed. I've got a laptop with a single 1.1 USB port. Which sucks because every time i wanted to use any peripheral device (printer, scanner, floppy disk etc) i had to unplug my mouse and use the rubbish touch mouse on the laptop. This situation was very annoying. Yet most other hubs require a 2.0 USB port in your computer, which i did not have.
This is the only hub i could find which had more than 4 ports and which would run through my single 1.1 port. The hub came a day before it was scheduled to, which was nice and has one beast of a power adaptor. It really needs to be plugged in to the wall as it can overload otherwise.
The only problem which i can think of is that it is not a 2.0 hub and therefore will not run 2.0 USB devices very well (a bit slower). Although this is the same for any 1.1 USB port no matter if its in a hub or a P.C.
The hub itself is very easy to install, just plug it in with all your devices attached and then wait for windows (XP) to recognise all of them.
Overall, very good and very useful.
