Cord Management for Reduced Clutter
Compact and elegant, the Plus Hub offers a unique configuration with two of its downstream ports situated on the top of the case, providing extremely easy access when you're using thumb drives, USB lights, media readers, and other portable peripherals. The remaining two ports are located on the side, and are positioned for optimal use with the Plus Hub's integrated cable-management feature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the extra $$, December 13, 2007

This may be a bit over the usual price for a $5-$10 USB hub you can find here at Amazon or your local Fry's, but the quality and just great look of the product compensate for any problems. It works flawlessly, even with those pesky external drives that require a 2-1 USB cable to have adequate power. Add to that the extra handy ports on top for thumb drives.

It looks great next to my iPod dock and iMac, remember it's not just Apple that makes cool looking products.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little powered hub, June 18, 2008

This review is from: Belkin USB 2.0 4-Port Hub, White (Personal Computers)

I had to turn my iMac to unplug a USB cable and plug in another. I also have a portable hard drive, though, that is powered by the USB and would not work with an extension USB cord (the light on the drive would go on, but I guess it wouldn't get enough juice to be usable). The Belkin hub, with the AC cord connected solved all the problems. I have more then enough USB ports and the portable hard drive gets power from the Belkin's AC (for lower-power items, you may not need to use the AC cord). And it looks great.
A little surprise: each of the four ports has an indicator light that goes on when the port is in use. I'm not sure why this is helpful, but its nice to see anyway.

Simple, beautiful, functional, and as others have said, it performs flawlessly! The weight is a big advantage and the small size is perfect. Needless to say, the old hubs are history.
