There are lots of devices like this out there, and this was the best price I found. Everything seems to connect these days by USB, and this hub is a great way to expand computers with only five or six built-in connections.

Plugged it in, it was fine. Went down to my computer 5 days later and the lights were off, no longer worked. Called IO Gear, took 5 days to get an RMA# so that I could send it back to them for repair. Dealer wouldn't take it back because I had it over a 7-day period (took me a couple days before I installed it) I'm in Canada, so I have to pay extra shipping to US for repair. I don't think it is worth it, I'll probably chuck it out and get another brand.

Looks cool and I like the design, except for the base, but the quality is very poor.

I have used the hub for 3 months now and so far it has worked without any sort of issue. Good product for the price.

I bought this hub to go with my Mac Mini. It looks good, and I like the two front-facing ports (great for iPods and cameras). However, I've had nothing but problems with the devices I've used with the hub.

When trying to upload pictures from my camera, it will work great the first time. If I "eject" the camera, disconnect it, and then connect it again later, iPhoto hangs up trying to access the camera. If I connect the camera to a different port, everything works fine. The only thing that regains access to that port is rebooting the computer and the hub.

This same behavior manifests itself with iPods (a Shuffle and a Nano) and iTunes. iTunes usually just hangs up trying to access the iPod, forcing a hard reboot. Fortunately I haven't had to do an iPod software update through this hub - who knows what would happen!

When printing to my Canon S800 printer through this hub, the print queue will randomly stop itself for no apparent reason. Sometimes restarting the print job works, other times it simply spits out random parts of pages and stops again. Switching the printer to a different hub fixed the issue and now everything is working perfectly.

The only device I haven't had problems with using this hub is an external USB2.0+FireWire hard drive. It's much slower with the USB2.0 connection than with the FireWire connection, though, so I usually just plug it in with FireWire.

Anyone want to buy a used USB 2.0 hub? ;)

Nice 7 port hub.......2006-03-17

The ports are nicely placed. The hub is narrow and tall making a nice fit on a crowded desk
