Pros: Stylish
Easy to connect weird pen drives
Works as expected


Cons: Blue led tooo bright
Suitcase conector on the hand is weak and easy to break
Main problem is that it does not come with a AC power adpater, nor the specification of wich one should work with, therefore making useless to connect hard drives ( as I expected )


Other Thoughts: because of the blue led I doubt anyone will be using it for more than a few days .... but if you like style and lights, this is your hub.
Great service and price on DealExtreme


Bottomline: Why not ? i´ts cool ! get one for your friends also, it´s so cheap comparing to anything locally.

Pros: Looks great and does it's job, even accessing 3 memory sticks at the same time on the hub doesn't give any power problems with Windows XP professional and without a power supply attached to the hub.


Cons: Material feels a bit weak but it isn't that weak, only the suite case is a bit weak attached to the arm, probably because of the turning mechanism.
Only the included cable was broken on arrival (DOA).


Other Thoughts: I think it's great as a business gift with your own logo on it, not as useless as the most other business gifts.


Bottomline: Not as square and boring as other USB hubs on the market.

Pros: looks great, it's nice to have something a little "different" when it comes to a hub.

it is USB 2.0 and runs things fine.

it has the option for powering if you plan to hook up drives ect

quite solidly built too.

Cons: ports are stiff to begin with

There's a blut indicator light on the hub and is PAINFULLY bright, nothing a bit of tape can't solve.

Other Thoughts: nice hub, nothing special in terms of functionality but it looks funky and does it's job.

I bought a few as "mini" gifts, they have been well received

Bottomline: buy it if you like the look of it, thats the only thing that makes it different from the billion other hubs for sale
