Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Belkin High-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Mobile Hub

Customer Review: Power cable too short, Won't power Ext Hard Drive, Otherwise Good
Summary: 4 Stars

Decent little hub, seems to work great. However, a couple of things to be aware of:

* The cable on the supplied power adaptor is entirely too short. If you plan to locate the hub on your desk, the power brick will not reach a power strip on the floor.

* If you are buying this powered hub in hopes in might power an external USB hard drive that does not have it's own power supply, look elsewhere. There's not enough current coming out of this hub to handle the requirements of a hard drive. If, however, your external drive has it's own power supply, you should be fine.

Other than that, it works great. Have to agree with others that due to it's light weight, it's a pretty easy target for getting knocked or pulled off the table accidentally, even by just the weight of the USB cables plugged in to it.

It will work for basic devices without the power supply being plugged in, such as for a mouse or flash drive, or to connect your digital camera to download pictures. For this reason, it makes for a nice little hub to carry around in your laptop bag. I ran my Sprint wireless card through it as well without the hub being powered.

If, however, you want to charge your Blackberry, or other USB device through it, you will need to plug in the power supply. I was able to charge the Blackberry while three other devices were plugged in to the hub (flash drive, Sprint card, and Logitech wireless mouse receiver). Worked great.

Overall, I'm giving it four stars, even though I had hoped it might power an external drive. It does exactly what it's supposed to otherwise. The short power supply cable is very annoying, but not a deal breaker for me.
