What is Bulk Rate? BulkRate is a semi-wholesale system with items priced separately from retail. When you use bulk rates, a flat $1.70 registered air mail fee will automatically be added to your cart to ensure delivery of package. While BulkRate's intention is to offer cheaper prices when you buy in bulk, because it is priced separately it on occassions show a higher than retail price. That's why we ask you to enter BULKRATE as a coupon code to manually activate the rates. You can always opt not to use the bulk rates. If you are looking for wholesale prices please feel free to contact us.

Pros: Works very well and is RELIABLE. Other hubs have failed or died and this one keeps going.
 
Cons: Build quality and design is cheap but works.
The cable is too short for some purposes.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Other Thoughts: Unlike other cheap hubs, this is pretty reliable and works well even for longer periods.
 
Bottomline: This is my favorite (cheap) USB 2.0 hub. I highly recommend (as a cheap option).

Pros: Very good price. If you just want a simple USB-hub to hold the cords to your cellphone, MP3-player, digital camera etc. And you do not need to use them all at once, and have no demands on speed. Then buy this product.
 
Cons: The build quality is really bad. The plastic housing and the ports do not fit 100% so some squeezing is required to get the USP-plugs in. The power in contact is not accessible at all due to poor fitting of the housing. A drill is needed to plug it in.
Worst: My only true USB2 device a Sandisk 4GB usb-memory didn't work at all with this hub. The computer claims the stick needs to be reformatted.
 
Other Thoughts: The crappy build quality is almost amusing. There is a power input, very visible thought the transparent plastic. But it's not accessible!
 
Bottomline: Sometimes you really do get what you pay for. Buy a diffrent, better and more expensive hub!

Good for the price

Pros: It's as useful as it gets and works as expected. I haven't tested it yet with all the ports connected but so far it has worked with 2 of them connected with no problems to the other ports. I don't know about the speeds either if they are accurate or not.
 
Cons: When I first connected, it didn't work. I had to move it to another USB. The cable is very very short though, considering it should work as an extension. If you just have USB ports in the back of the case, it might be a problem.
 
Other Thoughts: I thought it would be smaller than it is. From the pics it seems that it's smaller than the real thing. The cable could really be longer.
 
Bottomline: If you want a cheap hub, this one works. If the cable was a little longer, it would be perfect.
