Pros: Easy to setup - Auto detect once connected to your USB port, perfect for novice users
Price is good for the product you buy
USB 2.0
You can connect many devices at the same time
I like the mini-usb, I can recharge my bluetooth headset

Cons: I had to reboot my computer to get mine working but now, it works as a charm!
(might have been a PC problem on my side)
no other issues since then.

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: It works great and it's a decent price. I strongly recommend it and I might buy some extras since it's work as what you expected
I am an happy guy, go for it!

Pros: Good packaging.
Power for various devices.
Comes with a MINI-Usb so I can charge my phone with this.

Cons: Comes with a Mini-USB. I expected four standard USBs when I purchased this. It was purchased to charge my electronic cigarettes batteries four at a time. Now I have to find a mini-usb to standard usb adapter to do so.

Other Thoughts: If you need an USB hub with high power output, get this. But keep in mind that you have only three real USB, and one mini-USB, if you need four standard USB ports you will need an adapter for the fourth port.

Bottomline: Works.

Ownership verified by DX Actually pretty good

Pros: There are definitely situations where power will come to bite you in the arse. I'm using this in a portable system with a very power-weak USB system, and needed this dual-power style just to make it work /at all/. So, if you need it, it's really nice! Other than that, it works pretty much as expected. What can I say; it's a USB hub.

Cons: Personally I'd be happier with just four USB ports than three USB and one mini USB, but everybody else seems to like that. I have a trillion USB->mini USB adapters, but I found myself out of ports with this ... the power flows between the two INPUT USB ports (the red power one and the data one), so if your data device is not providing power over USB, it will be RECEIVING power over USB, which is utterly non-compliant. By pure coincidence this was extremely helpful to me (my device is now actually powered this way 8-D), but it's very very very non-compliant, so be careful.

Other Thoughts: Is there anybody who doesn't have a billion USB-to-mini-USB cables lying around?

Bottomline: If you have need for the dual-power style, it's very helpful ... and hell, you don't have any other choice for that, so buy it! :P
If you don't need dual-power, it's just a normal USB hub, nothing spectacular. The price is decent even for that though.

Ownership verified by DX Good product
