Needing to expand the number of USB ports I have available, I decided to purchase an Iogear 4 PORT USB 2.0 HIGH-SPEED Hub. The product easily plugged into my system, which is running Windows XP with no issues and has worked fine since it was installed. The only down side I see with this product is that it was designed perhaps a little too small and lite. Being so small and lite, the USB wires can easily move the product around should the wires get tugged or moved. Should have been designed to be a little heavier and a bit bigger would be nice too. This is why I rated the product 4 stars instead of 5 stars. Other than that, works fine and is a good product.

This 4 port UBS hub is definitely worth the money. It is small so it fits into a tiny space without being noticeable on your desk. I would buy one again if I needed another USB hub.

2 days after I start using it the lights konk off. A week later, the mouse conencted to one of the ports stop working...

Won't be buying again from iogear.

While the price of the GUH264 may be somewhat higher than many of the newer offerings from IOGEAR and from other vendors, most of these other units do not include an AC adapter. USB 2.0 devices demand more power than their 1.1 predecessors, and as all devices on a single bus draw on that single power source, adding a hub to a single USB port on a computer often leads to a shortage of power to the connected devices.

Purchasing a power-capable hub and finding out later that you need power to properly handle your devices leads to paying a premium for two purchases (and the delay waiting for the required power supply to arrive. This unit comes complete and ready to do the job.

You can't go wrong with this little unit, period.

Lights for both in port and the out ports, uses a standard sized input usb cable, out ports clearly marked and lined up with status lights. Optional power supply is handy if you plug any big power users in otherwise does fine unpowered.Couldn't be easier to use, plug in the cables, watch for the lights to come on and stick it out of the way.

The construction quality is very good, sturdy case and everything lines up nicely. I've had a couple in use for over a year now with no issues and just ordered two more.
