Form factor is great, but this doesn't matter so much if you have to carry the external AC adapter too. The USB dongle on one of my units gets stuck very easily, but this has improved with wear. I can only conclude that the hub is not providing adequate power for four 8G OCZ Rally2 flash devices.I have not had a problem with temperature. Since I own two of them and eight memory devices and it doesn't matter which combination I use them in, the problem is consistently associated with this hub. The devices seem to work well when four of them are used in a different four-port hub, but when used in this hub they occasionally have an I/O error. I purchased two of these a few months ago and have used them exclusively for eight flash memory devices made by OCZ. Using the external power does not fix the problem. Io performance seems reasonable.
Items were as advertised and were in new condition still in original packaging. 17, 2009 via UPS so delivery was as expected, if not sooner. Am a well-satisfied customer of AMAZON.COM at this point. Received everything I ordered online through AMAZON.COM from the Seller 365USA in excellent condition and packed very securely and showing care for efficient delivery. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY, PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2010. UPS drivers were hurried because of Christmas rush I'm sure.
Keep up the great work guys/gals. Ordered one of this item along with multiple others [I qualified for FREE shipping]. Received the shipment Dec. I would definitely recommend this item as a good BUY, works well NO problems so far.
The cables were way to short. This was a great idea for a 4 port hup but it was it badly Designed. It seamed too hard to add more than two extra USB cables because the extra USB slots seemed too close to gether.Thats my two cents.
I can connect it to my laptop and disconnect it at any moment and all of my peripherial still work properly once reconnected.The only thing is when I first got it, it made my computer crash a few times when my laptop went into hybernation over night after leaving it on and the screen up. It is compact for convinience and seems to do a good job so far. I have started closing the screen at night and it isn't doing that any more.
It does run hot so I think it must have good ventilation to hold up well. I am now using it with a Dell Laptop and it seems to be doing fine. IOGEAR replaced it for me. I am beyond warranty so I will go with a different hub to replace it. I bought two of the hubs in June 2004. One of them failed in about a month of using it with a HP/Compaq Laptop. The other one I used with a Mac for about a year and a half now and it has failed.
