 Did not work - had to return June 4, 2008
J. Poyer (Valdosta, GA)
I purchased this item because I am pretty much using all my USB ports, and I liked the idea of having high-speed ports for my high-speed USB devices. When I plugged it in, not only did it not carry my keyboard or my printer (it was like they weren't plugged in at all), but it also killed my other USB ports -- none of them worked after I plugged it in -- even after I unplugged it. I have NO IDEA what happened but after I did a system restore to the previous day, and then did a reversal of the system restore, then I had my USB ports back. I couldn't print out my return label fast enough. I am fairly saavy when it comes to technology, and I can say I may never buy a Belkin Hub again. Bad experience for this first time Belkin buyer and full-time web developer.
 A Great USB Hub April 21, 2008

I have had one for a year, with no problems. I have a film scanner, external hard drive, flat bed scanner and photo printer hooked to the USB Hub.

The Belkin 4 port hub is economical and reliable. It is designed for easy access and sits on the desk rather than in the wire bundle at the back of the computer tower.
Great Product! July 31, 2007

I've had my hub for about a year and never had any problems. I only wish I wish I had bought the larger one with 7 ports!
Unreliable July 15, 2007

I purchased this product from a retailer, but returned it in favor of a 7-port StarTech hub from Amazon. As some other reviewers have noted (elsewhere on Amazon and on other ratings sites), this hub is unreliable. After a day or two, it dropped its connection to the computer, and I had to unplug the USB connection to get it to be recognized again.
I borrowed a cheap USB 2.0 hub from a friend, and it worked fine, so I realized that the problem was caused by this hub and was not a computer problem. Belkin's only advice was that this hub might work if it wasn't connected to a surge suppressor. The explanation simply didn't jive with the facts, and removing a safety device seemed to be a ludicrous solution, anyway.
They've lost my confidence...I don't recommend this product. There are cheaper, more reliable products out there. (So far, I'm very happy with the StarTech ST7200USB 7-port hub I got from Amazon.)
