This is the second Belkin hub I have purchased. It will not power any usb device I plug into it, and my computer will only intermittently recognize any device I plug into. However, if I disconnect the hub and use that same port that I use for the hub, everything works correctly.
The larger problem though, is when I left my mp3 player plugged into it as a test to see if it would eventually charge (it did not), when I grabbed the hub to disconnect the usb, it was too hot to touch. This is a definite safety hazzard. I replaced my last non-functioning hub (also a Belkin, but on a different computer) with this. After wasting my money twice I have learned my lesson.

This hub is wonderful because you can use many USB peripherals and not worry that your computer doesn't come equipped with enough USB ports. The only problem I find is that the hub doesn't stay securely in place. This hub is still is well worth the price and I recommend it!

This USB hub is sleek-looking and works perfectly with my iMac. It has a very low profile and takes up very little space. The top mounted USB ports are really helpful when using flash drives and downloading picture from our digital camera.

This hub intitially seemed like a good idea but it tends to slip off the desk top since it's so light, but functioned as designed--for about 6 months. I have just spent nearly four hours trying to determine why my printer stopped working. I even contacted Smart Computing Magazine's free tech support for advice. After removing add-ons, reinstalling the HP printer, rebooting countless times, and before using the hammer-fix, I unplugged the printer cable from this hub and plugged directly into the computer's USB port and of course, it worked as before. This Belkin hub was used for the original printer installation and in service for about six months before "dying" from no appararent cause. Other ports seem to be still active...only the port into which the printer was plugged is useless. Indicates to me this is not a good quality hub..especially cosisering the cost.
Rating: - One of the USB ports was not recognized
I had 4-ports Belking device and it worked just fine. Then I replaced it with 7-ports, and it stopped recognizing my Blackberry despite rebooting, unplugging, reinstalling software etc. I am back to my old 4-ports device that still works fine.
