Belkin - 7-Port Ultra-Slim Desktop Hub - Black

I love my computer, saying that I just need more USB ports, I have tried a couple different one and so far knock on wood this one has held up well. I would recommend it to anyone that needs more USB ports, it is externally energized.

This usb hub has a nice sleek look to it. I have no issues with it.

I love this and it stays connected to my desktop. I originally bought this to go with my Surface Pro 2 but I didn't realize that it had to be plugged into the wall. I ended up buying a second one for that and this one is now connected to my home computer. I have not noticed any slowing of transferring my data.

This is actually my second Belkin 7 port USB hub. I use one at home and one at work. The one at home has all ports being used as I have many many devices and stuff to plug in - it might be enough ports. The home version replaced a lower quality hub with less ports and I fritzed and bricked it when I accidentally plugged in a wrong AC adapter - caution: watch your amps guys. The other one I use at work (I'm a mobile developer) so I have many test devices around me. Sadly, for some reason it refuses to charge iPad - guess it doesnt output enough juice to the ports. However, I can plug in a few handhelds and they'll charge just fine (of course, not as well as wall plug or directly into your machine's USB port). Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product and I wonder what'll happen if I chain together several of these together.

I was having problems with the USB port connections on my monitor - it was my source for extra USB connections and was not dependable and caused some issues with my keyboard resulting in its malfunctioning. Once I unhooked everything from there and plugged this into my laptop ALL my issues were resolved. I have used Belkin products in the past and there reputation remains high with me. The 7 ports provide ample slots to plug in all my peripherals without having to unplug one to use another. Great product!!

My 3.0 USB ports are up in front of my computer & my presonus studio instructions tells me not to plug my interface into a USB 3.0 port. So, without this I'm constantly plugging in the back (which are where my 2.0 USB ports are) & it's a real pain in the neck (because you shouldn't leave the interface plugged in at all times like you might do with other things). With this strip I can unplug with ease as it's plugged into the 2.0 in back but the strip is upfront for easy access. It also gives me a number of extra ports, which is great, works excellent too.

This USB hub has given my mac book pro 7 additional ports. As a DJ here in town, and a tech geek I rely on being able to connect as much hardware as possible. I can do it all with this device. This USB hub supports both 2.0 and 3.0 version and works great with both at fast speeds. I would recommended this for anybody trying to give their computer more USB connections.

I replace my 4-port USB extender with this device and instantly freed up an extra port on my computer (the 4-port bus required 2 USB ports). Communications through the stick are smoother and faster. Currently using two ports but will continue to use more to reduce crawl time since my USB ports are on the back of the computer.
