Strengths:
-Looks solid
-Functional
-Comes with power adapter
Weaknesses:
-Not durable
-Won't hold up to repeated plugging / unplugging
Additional Comments:
I bought this so I could connect my joystick, throttle, and racing wheel and then unplug the whole setup and put away when not in use. The USB Type B port on the back was not up to the task of handling regular plugging and unplugging, as the port broke after only a week. The solder points where the connector attaches to the board ripped out. This unit was not abused, but rather this happened after only a week of normal use.
This is very cheaply made. Spend a little more and don't waste your time with this product.

Strengths:
affordable (aka,,cheap)
Weaknesses:
poorly engineered and poor quality of parts internally causing the issue.
Additional Comments:
affordable, but when I factor in the gas and time i have to spend to go back and get my money back, its not worth it. Spend a little extra and get a Dlink or something better.
It started back feeding the computer within 4 days.

Strengths:
Powered
Weaknesses:
Leaks power back to the port it's plugged in to.
Does not work with Raspberry Pi
Additional Comments:
I originally bought it to use with my Raspberry Pi, but it leaks power back to the port it's plugged in to, and any device I plug into it's ports always seems to have some kind of problem. Might work okay for a full desktop though.

Strengths:
Powered
Weaknesses:
I had one for about 3 months and it died. It took 6 weeks to get a replacement, and now it has died after only a month and a half.
Additional Comments:
I was using it for a mouse, keyboard and an external drive. It couldn't take the pressure I guess.

Strengths:
Easy to set up and connect.
Black matches everything.
Powers my USB keys, mouse, keyboard, iPhone, etc...
Weaknesses:
Even with the external power source it can't power my 3.5 HDD which can be powered off of any other port on my PC without issue.
Additional Comments:
Was really hoping this would power my portable HDD but alas, it does not. Only weakness so far.

Strengths:
Small, and best part all the USB input are all on one side, while the Hub to Computer/PS3 and power plug is on the other.
Weaknesses:
None.
Additional Comments:
I love this little hub, I bought two, for my girlfriend and me. We use them on our PS3 console to expand the 2 USB ports to 5, so that way we can connect a controller, steering wheel, keyboard, headset and so on.
This little hub works very well and I love having all the ports on one side unlike some other USB Hubs.
