4.0 out of 5 stars Great Little USB Hub, January 9, 2010

This review is from: Targus PAUH210U USB 2.0 4-Port Hub (Personal Computers)

Don't let its compact size fool you, this is a great little usb hub. I bought this as a gift for my non-techie mother which meant that I had to test it and get familiar with it before I wrapped it.

I have two larger, more expensive hubs at home and was very impressed by how well this little hub stacked up. The connection ports provided a nice snug fit for the usb cable and in spite of the small size and plastic casing I didn't feel like I had to carefully hold the case together when inserting and removing the cables. (The case on one of my larger hubs comes apart at the seams when I plug in a cable.) My old hubs are both 2.0 but seem to have issues with lag time. That's not a problem with the Targus PAUH210U. I tested all of the ports and found excellent response for mouse, keyboard and file access to an external hard drive.

The bottom line is that this is a great little hub for the price. I feel confident that my mother will find it both convenient and useful and with it's compact size and $5 price tag I can easily justify purchasing another of these hubs to throw in my briefcase.

I bought this as a hub for a PS3. So far it works just fine when all ports are used. Mine didn't come with an AC adapter, just the USB cable. In the instructions, it says the cable supplies the power to box. Two connections at 500mA each means this box gets 1 amp total power. I'm sure it works fine with any other computer, it's just that I only bought it for the PS3.

This is definitely a good buy if you need to expand your USB ports. It's small, cheap, and allows for external power (although, mine did not come with the AC adapter required for that). Even without external power, it does well. I can charge my HTC Touch, Philips VOX 150, and Philips GoGear 4GB on it without external power. It also included a cable that allowed it to be connected to two computers. Not sure why you would need this, though.
