Eventually they fail

Strengths:

Seem to work okay for a while.

Weaknesses:

I've got two now that pooped out. Keep that blue LED in sight.

Additional Comments:

If you can afford something better, get it. Cry once, buy once. At least spring for the extended warranty...you''ll probably need it.

Worked for about 2 years than stopped working completly

Strengths:

Worked well with anything attached to it

Weaknesses:

Bright LED, Ports are to close to each other if you have a USB drive then you have to unplug the nearest cable to be able to plug it in.

Additional Comments:

Too expensive for the short time it worked.

Excellent USB Hub working flawlessly for 1 1/2 years

Strengths:

Powers 4 USB portable hard drives with no troubles

Weaknesses:

bright blue LED can be a bit annoying indicating power is on but i covered with black tape

Additional Comments:

Works Well with USB Hard drives have two hubs each with 4 WD My Passport hard drives connected to them. Drives always recognized, and accessible. Have been using for almost two years with no issues and have just ordered a third hub to use with additional hard drives. Use with a Dell Laptop

Works Fine

Strengths:

Works perfect with my computer without the use of the external power brick. I use it for 2x 3D joysticks, a G510s and a Razer Naga mouse. Never had any problems with it cutting out.

Additional Comments:

I have had it for 10 months now and it still works fine.

Like many others - didn't work for me either

Strengths:

Not much

Weaknesses:

Like many other reviews, this unit did not work for me either. Devices plugged in were not recognized. For example, plugged in the power supply, and just plugged in a mouse - the mouse laser didn't light up. Cable too short, and just didn't ever work. Disappointing since this unit was not cheap.

Power Supply is Junk

Strengths:

It works fine once you replace the power supply.

Weaknesses:

Comes with a useless power adapter and a short USB cable. Power light is an extremely bright blue LED which lights up the wall at night unless you cover it.

Additional Comments:

The hub would disconnect an external drive as soon as I started to use it. Determined the power supply that ships with the unit is garbage. Replaced it with a 2.5A unit from an old Linksys router and now the hub works fine.

Poor USB 3.0 Hub

Strengths:

Small and lightweight.

Weaknesses:

Not compatible with some USB 3.0 equipment. Won't work any longer if the power supply is plugged in, but works passively with no power supply. Overall disappointing.

Additional Comments:

A cheaply built hub that has constant issues. Threw it away for a solid StarTech 7-port hub that has worked perfectly.

Failed

Weaknesses:

Unreliable

Additional Comments:

Never really worked very well, always seemed to need resetting. Eventually it stopped working altogether but past the warranty period. I'm not going to buy this one again.

Works for me

Strengths:

It's a 4-port USB 3.0 hub for $35.

Weaknesses:

Some people don't like how short the cable is.

Additional Comments:

It's got an external power source and runs at USB 3.0 speeds (I checked). I actually like the short cable as it's long enough to sit cleanly on my tower and connect to the back without stupid amounts of slack. I think it's a fine hub.
