 Handy travel hub November 30, 2008
I got this to use with my laptop, since it only has two USB ports (and one is permanently reserved for the mouse, because I don't like touchpads). The Belkin Mini Hub has a clever, compact design because:
1. The cable is built into the hub, eliminating the need for an extra USB cable -- one more item to tangle up or lose in the backpack black hole. A word of advice, however: it is evident that this hub was conceived to be used on laptops, since the cable is very, very short. There is no way you can hook it up to a regular desktop USB port and have the mobility to switch USB devices around on it unless you use a USB extension cable to bring the hub to the front of the desktop.
2. The square shape, with one USB port on each side, allows you to hook up wider or thicker devices (like, for instance, a Delkin e-Film CompactFlash card reader) with no problem. Most hubs I saw on amazon.com have the USB ports all piled up one atop the other, or very close together side by side. This layout only allows you to plug in devices that have USB cables (like the Sandisk CompactFlash card reader). There is simply no space for any other design. Since I try to avoid carrying extra items when I travel -- less to pack, less to forget, less to misplace --, I prefer devices with built-in USB connectors. And for this the Belkin Mini Hub is perfect.
Wimdows XP Pro SP3 recognized the Mini Hub instantly, like it should, and the devices currently connected to it (an external hard drive and my MP3 player) are working perfectly. I've got nothing to complain about.
Excellent November 26, 2008
It is a very good product and works properly. Possibly I will have to buy another one
 nice gadget! November 26, 2008
I love this little hub.. it does exactly what it was bought to do.. I use it on my new macbook and it works like a charm..
Except for one little issue, it doesnt recognise my portable 320GB Lacie little disk..i have to connect the drive diectly to the computer.. maybe it is an apple issue or the hub is not powerful enough... I will just have to sort that one out... I dont know but apart form that..works great..
Plug in iphone, two flashdrives and it works so no complaints except for the above..
Strongly recommended..
love this hub November 24, 2008
This is a great product for my needs - I was plugging and unplugging devices into my one spare usb port before I got this - now they all get to stay accessable.
Excellent Product November 17, 2008
Plugs in and works great! I had all 4 ports in use at once copying data without any issues. Does what it does well. Enough said.
