Belkin F5U403 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Lighted Hub Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just bought this hub and there are definitely some improvements that can be made. For one thing, the USB cord is much too long - I just wanted to plug it right into my computer's USB port.A couple of inches would have been enough.Also, the ports are very close together which can be a problem when plugging in a flash drive. But one of the ports is on the end of the hub, so that is useful for things like that and leaves the other three ports for USB cords that can go side by side. There's no on/off switch for the light which might be annoying if you were working on a red eye or overnight flight with lights dimmed for the sleeping passengers.

The hub comes with a power adapter without any clear explanation of its purpose. I assumed it was just for the light because the hub normally works fine without being plugged into a power source. I later found out that it is there in case you start to draw serious power from the hub. Without the adapter, the hub is only providing 500mA for all four ports. This isn't a problem if you are using low powered devices. With the power adapter, the hub provides 500mA for each port.

D-Link DUB-H4 High Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Hub Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I think the other reviews largely get it right. Two things I haven't seen in them, however: first, the plug on the power cord is in the shape of a wide black monolith, so, like bulky a/c adaptors... Second, the included documentation says that the hub will revert to a USB 1.1 hub FOR ALL DEVICES if you have any USB 1 device connected. It says that to get USB 2.0 throughput, you must disconnect all USB 1.0 or 1.1 devices from the hub first. That's worth knowing.

Finally, if you buy the hub, I suggest going to Windows Update and downloading the optional USB 2.0 fix for WinXP SP 1.

AtivaTM In-Desk 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased one of these hubs when I purchased my new desk at Office Depot. Unfortunately I paid the full price of $39.99 as Amazon didn't have any specials at the time. (at the time of writing this it's going for $24.95) This hub has worked beautifully for the past two years. Keep in mind that one of the USB ports is on the bottom and the other three are on top. I have my camera's USB cable connected to the one on the bottom and the cable from it coming up through the holes in the hub. Then when not in use I can slide the cable back down through the hole and it's not cluttering up my desk.

The one and only negative item I can say is very situation dependent. The blue LED is BRIGHT! This seems to be a common issue with this type of hub from various manufacturers. If this is going to be in a bedroom you'll probably want to cover it up with something. Unless, of course, you would like a rather bright blue nightlight. It will actually illuminate well enough to be able to navigate a cluttered office with easy. ;)

Belkin USB 2.0 Plus Hub (7 Port) F5U307-BRN Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I need a powered USB hub. I run several high power draws: a cooling plate and USB powered hard drives.This is the only one I could find that actually told me how much power it gaves each outlet, 500m amps. The 2 vertical ports are handy for quickly plugging in flash drives.

Don't over look your monitor's powered USB ports. I just bought a Dell 2208WFP monitor and it has 4 ports with 2.5 watts each.

Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Lighted Hub F5U700 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Have had this plastic cased hub for about two months now and it's still working as well as the ports on the computer - but more convenient. Comes with a power supply, although it appears it's only needed if you want the hub lit even when the computer is off. Mine works fine on just USB power with only one drive installed, and I don't want the dual blue LEDs on top lit all the time as they are very bright, like light up the room bright. Also the ports may be too close to install 4 drives simultaneously. My attitude is - the brighter the better - and I only have two thumb drives, so I'd definitely buy this hub again.

Cyberpower CP825LCD UPS - 825VA/450W LCD Display 8-Outlet RJ11/ Compact Design EMI/RFI Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I live in a rural area on the top of a mountain. Electrical Service, unfortunately, is frequently interupted, usually for a few seconds only. But when it is, it can happen at very inconvenient times. Additionally, power surges, while not frequent, do happen, particularly during electrical storms. This means that my electronic equipment needs to be protected. I have 2 desktop computers in my home, both in constant use and both need a 24 hour internet connection.

I use a total of 3 Cyberpower UPS devices, along with additional Surge Protecters to protect my computers and other electronic appliances (including Televisions, DVRs, etc.). While neighbors have experienced major problems, the only problem I have experienced is a blown Surge Protecter (which obviously did it's job).

The model UPS shown has surge protection of (I believe)a bit over 1000 joules. This should usually be enough, but I use additional protection (rated 4200 joules) because of the location of my home. For most of you, the protection offered by this UPS will be sufficient.
