This hub works without any problems. Price is a bit high October 31, 2008

This review relates to the Belkin USB 2.0 Plus Hub (7 port). I bought it because I had so many things requiring USB ports that, before I bought this hub, I had to unplug things like a printer or a UPS control cable in order to plug in things like a USB downloader for an SD chip from my Canon camera or the charge/download USB cable of my iPhone. The hub itself is plugged into a USB 2.0 port on my Apple iMac 20" powerpc G5 box running Mac OSX 10.5.5 and into an AC outlet.
When I plug the aforementioned USB devices into the Belkin hub, they work exactly the same as if I had plugged them directly into the iMac itself. No setup, no learning curve, no nothing. It just works. Plug it into an AC outlet and it has sufficient power to recharge my iPhone.
I paid a premium to buy the Belkin device because I have used their equipment before and consider Belkin to be a quality manufacturer. There is one unusual feature of this hub that may well justify a price higher than that of the competition. This particular hub has the odd feature of being stackable: that is, you can use at least to two of them together, one on top of the other. There are two USB ports on top of the Belkin hub, and when a second one would stack on top of the first, there is a square hole all the way through the thing so that the topside ports on the lower hub are accessible through the hole in the second one. I haven't actually tried this, but it is ingenious, assuming it works.
 it works, but not quite as promised October 28, 2008

I can see that the device has 7 USB ports, as advertised. But the two ports on top don't work -- the connection isn't reliably snug -- and these are the ports I'd use the most if I was plugging and unplugging things in a lot. The 5 ports on the side work fine, though.

I'm glad I read other reviews and opted for the 7 port powered hub. You just don't realize how many "things" you have to connect with. Just think, printer, power supply (the sensor to manage failures etc), IPod, IPhone, Sandisk reader, Wacom pen tablet, scanner, and who knows what else. The port works fine - you don't know it's there - and that's the way it should be. I'm happy and think it's a good value for the price. Opting for external power for so many devices just makes sense - after all, your PC is not intended to be a power supply for peripherals.

I love this USB device. It's wide, flat footprint is perfect for keeping those USB cords out of the way. The two hubs on the top get a lot of use and are very convenient.
