  Fast, Reliable, Good Design! MAC June 30, 2009 After doing a lot of research on USB hubs I settled on this one (but with the dark finish). I am running a Macbook Pro ver. 10.5.7. I have been using it 24/7 with an external hard drive, mouse, usb audio controllers, pin drives, etc. and it has worked flawlessly. The cable bundler is convenient. You might have minor stationary problems as the unit is not very heavy. Its wide footprint helps make up for it. I am a audio producer and it is very important for all my equipment to run safely and smoothly throughout the creative process. This USB hub has allowed me to do that with confidence. If your looking for a multiple port USB solution, look no further, this unit is fast and reliable. It has exceeded my expectations.
  Cannot Handle Load June 25, 2009 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The device can not handle the power consumption of the USB devices plugged into it. If I plug too many devices into the hub, they won't start. I wanted a device for the extra USB ports to handle a printer and an external hard disk, plus the occasional memory stick and camera. The printer and hard disk were intended to be on all the time. If they are, and I plug in a memory stick, the memory stick won't power up. If I shut off the printer, then the memory stick will power. On most occasions, I have to plug and unplug/replug the USB devices in the hub to get them to work. The hub is connected to an iMac, which could also be some of the problem. Bottom line - the device is useless as a multi-port solution.
  Belkin 7 port USB Hub June 15, 2009 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I really like the location of the ports and the cord organizer. I would like a different color combo, this reminds me of some sort of baby toy. It is nice to have a little weight to the hub to keep it down and from sliding around. I recommend it
  Great Port with a couple of minor problems June 9, 2009 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is an outstanding port. It's fast and can, theoretically handle 7 USB devices --- that's theoretically. In truth, the port hub can handle 5-6 devices because the connection plugs are too close together. Here's the other problem: heat. The unit is very warm when operating. This is only a problem if you put it on top of something else, like I did, initially; I put it on my external drive.

  Great and nice hub June 8, 2009 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
It's nice and works as it is supposed to. I have an iMac and have no problem at all, I like the way you can organize all the cables and how it looks at my desk.
