Customer Review: Flakey and unreliable
Summary: 1 Stars
This worked okay for the first few weeks but is flakey and unreliable now. Half the ports don't work, and the rest stop working for no apparent reason, you can unplug/replug to get it to work a while again. Customer Review: so so...
Summary: 2 Stars
I thought...if I spend more money, I would get a better product. I was wrong. First of all, the outlook doesn't look the same, if you also expected the black-glare look. It's see through plastic. doesn't look that good as the picture. Also, it's very slow to recognize USBs, so it takes some time to be recognized. You don't need an extra power cord (I couldn't find this information so I guess this is useful for you), but there is also a A/C power in the package. One thing, though, when I opened the package, the A/C power adapter was definitely a used one!!!! whilte residue and it's not a new product at all! Returning process made me just keep it as I wouldn't need to use the adapter anyways, but it was something disappointing. Conclusion, I think you don't need to pay more money on this type of product. Customer Review: HORRIBLE!!

I purchased this hub from Target last month in an attempt to stop my small children from removing devices plugged into the tower. What a waste of money ($30), and it's totally useless! Here are the issues we experienced:
1. Both the power and USB cables are WAY too short - even for a standard-sized desk, and due to this limitation of placement, small hands can still reach devices plugged into them.
2. The power cable connection isn't tight enough, and it repeatedly falls out.
3. There are no LED's to show you that your devices are successfully connected.
4. Half the ports didn't work out of the box!
5. The other ports are crooked, or you have to pull the device out half-way and wiggle it until you get some kind of connectivity.
6. Forget plugging even two things into this hub at once. Since the connections wiggle, one device is disconnected in the attempt to connect another.
RESULT: I'm tossing this product into the trash. Belkin won't get any more money from me until they step up quality control.
Customer Review: Perfect for low-power and self-powered devices
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had zero trouble with my Belkin hub. I use it with my unibody MacBook Pro, a pair of external hard drives and the Korg Nano Kontrol, Nano Key and Nano Pad controllers.
Several other reviewers have complained about the short power cable. Since my external hard drives have their own (required) power bricks, and the Korgs are very low power devices, I haven't needed to use the Belkin brick. Rather than complain about the brick's cable, I would rather Belkin just not include it.
If this hub was lost or stolen, I would buy another one.
Customer Review: I expected more.

The power supply plug falls out easily, and the case fell apart after a month.
