- Strengths:
- Great Product,I have 3 of them and never had any issues with what prior reviewers have commented on. It stacks nicely.
- Weaknesses:
- People who bash the product due to some failures. All hardware can fail if you don't know that then time to learn people. Don't be cheap and not spend a couple bucks on a warranty.
- Summary:
- I would recommend to anyone and buy the extended warranty for replacement if the hardware fails.
Could be better

- Strengths:
- - lots of ports
- design (placement of ports)
- Weaknesses:
- - power adapter makes that buzzing noise
- rubberized shell makes it difficult to wipe off dust
- Summary:
- So far it works as advertised. Use it transfer files to my Blackberry and USB drives, connect mouse and external floppy and DVD drives. I am worried about the adapter as it's making that buzzing sound; only notice it when its the only device powered on.
Horrible

- Strengths:
- low profile design. Lots of ports for a small price.
- Weaknesses:
- overheats beyond hot. constantly failing.
- Summary:
- I've gone so far as Drill several dozen vent holes, and I also cut out a section in the top and attach a RAM heatsink to the main processor, and it still over heats.
I wouldn't use this for anything else but small, scarcely used USB items (printers, scanners, small MP3 players to sync, etc).
I have two external drives, and then the cord for my iPhone to sync, and with 4 ports free, it still over-heats and shuts down.
Ports died

- Strengths:
- Good design, and easy to use. Fast.
- Weaknesses:
- Ran great for a while, but now it Seems to 'overheat' (?) and then shuts down. You can't put too many things on it. I've got a backup harddrive, one large storage, an iPhone cable (USB) and one for my camera. will shut down if all four is on - Or if it gets too hot. Random shutdown times.
which is too bad, because there's still 3 ports left. I wouldn't buy this product again.
- Summary:
Defective out of the box

- Strengths:
- My second purchase of a belkin 7 port hub ...liked how they could sit on top of each other neatly.
My first one worked well for a year then two ports died....thought maybe it was just one of those things that go wrong now and then.
- Weaknesses:
- power cord was defective out of the box and I returned it.
- Summary:
- I won't be trying for a third one. Too bad the design is great, the number of ports is what I wanted. I can understand one having a problem but not two......not recommended.
Not reliable

7 ports
looks great
- Weaknesses:
- I have had 2 ports quit working
- Summary:
- I have only have had it since mid December. If you google this others have had similar problems. Possible to power off and restart it but who needs that!?
I would buy another hub.
Good quality hub........
