This will be a very handy addition to my desktop. I wont have to switch plugs anymore. Very Nice. Update to first review. After having this hub for a quite some time now I see many bad reviews. It is still rock solid for me.
This hub is a powered hub and has great speeds; Seven ports is a nice feature; I tested a 13 gig file transfer with my Transcend USB 30 external drive; Download rate was approximately 106MB/s swinging in between 97 and 109 MB/s; Took two minutes and ten seconds; Power switch for power saving.
Only one con and not a terrible one; Not even sure if it is a con for most people; The data cable is 40 inches long and for me its about 12 inches too short for me; Wont reach the center of my desk; But that may just that my desk is huge; So I didn't remove a star for that
