5.0 out of 5 stars Hands down the best USB hub I have owned, May 11, 2009

I purchased 2 of these and love the design. I was trying to find hubs that had the ports on the front with no wires from the back. I found that hard to find until these.

The USB cable is hard wired into the side. The AC is plugged into the same side and that can be disconnected. It is triangular shaped and comes with mounts to stick on a surface. I have both mounted under my studio desk with the ports faced in the back. I had to use superglue as the adhesive mounts kept coming off...probably had to do with the surface of the desk. Not a problem at all for me.

Keeps everything organized and easily accessible. Quality build and does not feel cheap. 2 usb ports are spaced out further to allow access to bulkier usb products.

UPDATED JUNE 1ST 2009

Lately I noticed my PC would hang when booted. I would have to disconnect the hubs. Once I did that the PC would boot. I tried to narrow it down to which USB device was causing the hang and no luck.

A couple days later I wondered about unplugging the AC from the hubs to see if that would help. So I disconnected them from the outlet and plugged back in...no more hang.

It's like it had to be reset or something.

UPDATED APRIL 17TH 2010

Both USB ports are working like they should. I have 14 usb devices hooked up and all are working.

UPDATED JANUARY 27TH 2011

I purchased a new pc and switched the hubs over. I am now running Windows 7 and no problems at all.

I've had several hubs and this is the best one yet. Will work well with a desktop or on the road.

BTW, I feel that honest, effective reviews, accompanied by detailed videos, can take the place of first-hand experiences that are often lacking in online shopping. I've always appreciated the help I've received from other reviewers and try to return the favor as best as I can. I hope you found this review helpful and the video at least entertaining. If there was anything you thought was lacking or unclear leave a comment and I'll do what I can to fix it.

I highly recommend this product. I can't stand the bright blue lights and big show you see with other usb hubs. This product is compact, discrete, elegant, and the usb ports are easily accessible--exactly what I was looking for in a usb hub.

I was reluctant to buy this product because it didn't have any reviews, but I'm definitely happy I made the purchase and highly recommend it to others.
