Solid device, good price.......2007-04-26

This is a very compact, well-built USB hub which worked right out of the box with both Windows XP and 2000.

It was purchased for 1) it's price and 2) it's size. The hub is well-worth the money and more of these hubs are in order for the other computers around the house. Of course, the small size means that it is easily dragged around by the movement of any cord attached to it. Some Velcro or double-stick tape might be useful to hold the hub in place.

One possible disadvantage to this hub is that there is no option to plug in an external power supply. This limits the total amount of power that can be used by the devices plugged into the hub. To help with this, the hub comes with a Y cable and can be plugged into two ports on the computer. On the "computer-side" of the cable, the black connector provides both power and data to the hub. Optionally, you can plug in the red connector to provide additional power to the hub.

This thing works really well- however, you have to plug in two USB plugs (they do come with it) if you plan on charging an iPod on it. Otherwise the iPod looses battery faster than it can charge it.

So I read other reviews, and took a chance. I have yet to need the power supply that comes with it, so it is really portable so far. I like the feature that you may unclip part of the adapter that swings out so I can actually lay the device flat when it is plugged into my laptop.

Great product.......2007-02-02

I bought this to solve my probem of ever dwindling supply of USB ports. This product has a very long cord on it which is very helpful. I would recommend purchasing it.

I bought this Targus powered 4-port mini-hub blind, mostly on Targus's reputation. The Targus has readily visible lights on active ports. Works right out of the box. Needing a second hub, I opted for a powered 4-port mini-hub by APC, again based on APC's reputation. The APC hub costs about $10 more and does not perform nearly as well. The APC has no lights on active ports. In addition, the APC runs very hot; I will not be surprised to see it burn itself out. I would give the APC about a 3-star rating.
