3 of 5 Gets too hot Saturday, January 03, 2009
Kriston from Washington DC
This is the best hub you can get because the ports are on the back with an extra two on top. This makes it fit nicely on your desk.
The bad thing is that it gets horribly hot even if you have nothing plugged into it.
The good thing, though, is that it seems to provide more than 500 mA per port which is a good thing for your non-powered USB hard drives and things that charge via USB.

5 of 5 Great hub Tuesday, December 16, 2008
R from Oklahoma
Used mine for about 3 years before it quit. Had 2 and the one one the bottom got too hot from being stacked. And shorted out it out. be carefull when stacking as they tend to get very hot. Overall a great hub and as others stated the top acess ones are handy. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 just what the doctor ordered Wednesday, December 10, 2008
Allen from Saline, MI
I am very happy with this one. I tried an older Stratitec 4-port hub on the new Vista laptop, but it was neurotic. This new Belkin 7-port hub was plug-n-play simple. And I really appreciate the two ports on top. I have the unit velcro'd to the wall behind my monitor, which makes it nice and stable, and keeps it out of the way, but it's not easy to see or get to the side ports. A couple of these side ports are used for the 'always connected' stuff (like the Brother label maker and the WD MyBook). The top ports are reserved for the removable stuff, like my USB flash drives, which I pop in and out whenever I move the laptop. That's nice. The connectors are easy to locate; no need to blindly poke at the USB female around the backside of the unit. Although sometimes that can be fun! Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Works great. Slightly large. Wednesday, December 10, 2008
Glenn Commons from Colorado
This is a quality product and works as you would expect; however, it is a bit larger than I imagined from the photo in the description. It is 5 1/2" wide and 4" deep. It takes up a little more desk space than anticipated. Other than that, I'm happy with it. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Great USB hub - Easy access ports a key feature Tuesday, November 04, 2008
TechGuy from West Bend WI
Great price for a very dependable hub. Just having the two easy access ports on the top of the hub is worth the price - not having to fumble around trying the find the front ports or fighting the cables in the back of the processor. I used to leave a 3 ft USB extention cable plugged into the front of the PC - no need for that anymore. Low profile and neutral color instead of a brightly lit neon fixture is also a plus. As always, great price and fast shipping from Buy.com
