Don't waste your money or time. This device runs so hot that the metal tips will burn you; it's amazing the plastic casing doesn't melt. It overheats causing devices to drop in and out sporadically. It also comes with a very short 12" USB cable that is just to short for any practical usage. Can't return since used a rebate, so...goes to the garbage considering the overheating is a fire hazard and not worth burning my house down. Plan on ordering the Dlink or Belkin next time around.

Decided to buy Trendnet hub because I was happy with their other products - namely 2 routers and ethernet switch. With TU2-700 they did a bad job, I hooked up 7 USB->serial converters which don't draw more than 50mA each and only 4 devices got recognized by Windows - others were going up and down all the time in Windows device manager, and when I unpugged 3 devices the remaining 4 would stop communicating with a PC within half an hour. I ended up buying D-Link DUB-H7 and never had a problem since, use same setup.

I hate to return items. This overheated and did not function properly, so I returned it....

This product is no good. Did not work correctly, got hot after plugging in and hung up my computer everytime I tried to log on. Do not recommend.

If you need a way to connect a lot of cords to one hub, this is a good way to go. The price is right. My only concern (and it may just be the nature of these devices) is that it seems to get warm to the touch. I leave it connected to my computer all the time - even when there are no Input/Output cords attached to it. I do not know if that is the correct way to do things but so far it appears to be doing what it was designed to do.

It seems like some or all of the ports just quit working periodically. Therefore, there is inconsistent performance. I don't understand why this would be. For instance, my keyboard was plugged into the hub and quit working. I plugged it into the computer directly and it worked.

This product works well and allows me to use usb itms that are too wide to plug directly into the confined spaces on my computer. The only problem I have had is that it can get quite hot after a couple of hours being plugged in.

I bought this adapter because of the price. (...). I followed the instructions and had it up and running in a few minutes. Have had no problems thus far, but it has only been a day.

Unexpensive and small, has it's own power supply. Could not get a better bang for the buck.
