Power supply is inadequate, 2007-07-14
I bought this p[ower USB hub specifically to connect my DVD-ROM which requires two USB connections, one for data, one for power. However, the device seems unable to supply enough power for the DVD-ROM to work consistently. I'm sure it's good for many applications, but not mine. If I plug the DVD-ROM into sockets 1 and 4, it doesn't work; if I plug it into sockets 1 and 3, it does. It's better than an unpowered usb hub, but I guess you get what you pay for ...
When it way working, I tried playing a DVD (video) through a USB 2.0 connection, but the data transfer rate was too low; there was no sound and jerky video.
Excellent and smallest product !!, 2007-03-09
If you want to get a cheap and stable usb hub, I would recommand to have it. It comes with a power adapter and recognises all my usb devices that enables me to access four usb hard drives together. I am quite happy, so what do you think?
Very good USB2 powered hub, 2007-05-04
Excellent product for the price. Powers 2.5 inch hard drive inside media player enclosure that USB ports on PC could not handle.
Absolutely rubbish, 2007-12-04
This device is advertised as a USB 2.0 hub. When I plug in USB 2 devices, Windows alerts that the newly attached device can run faster and that I should plug the device into a fast USB 2 socket.
This makes me think this device is "USB 2 Compatible" i.e. it will plug into a USB 2 socket but the actual unit only provides USB 1 connectivity for any devices attached. Avoid this nasty second-rate hardware it will not give you 4 fast USB ports - it will give you 4 old USB 1.1 ports which are useless for high speed peripherals.
