My Experience: Underpowered and Unreliable
I was excited to have this 7-Port USB 2.0 hub until I discovered that it cannot handle more than four devices reliability and it cannot handle any high power devices, such as an external hard drive at all. I tried USB powered externals (Seagate 100 GB) and external hard drives with their own power supply (Western Digital 250 GB) It just doesn't recognize these. My Seagate 100 GB external started making that funny noise it makes when it is not getting enough power.
I also had trouble...

Hey guess what ... It Works!
I can access anyone of my 5 webcams I have plugged into this USB hub. I can also access them all at the same time with certain software. This allows me to track and record all movement in my home when I am away. This USB 2.0 hub is what allows all those devices to be connected at once.

There really isn't much to it, but all you gotta do is plug it in and it works. no configuring, no adjusting, no nothing, it's a USB HUB and it works great as just that.

Simply Ideal
A usb hub is a simple appliance, right? It either works or it doesn't. Well, there are a few differences among hubs, and I'll point them out. The H7 incorporates the preferred feature in the descriptions below.
1) Externally-powered beats usb-powered most of the time. Usb-powered units divide the available power across all the ports that are in use, so the more plugged in, the less power for each. I have a 4-port usb-powered hub that is only good for products that do not need much p...

Does not function as a powered hub
I purchased this hub because it appeared to provide powered ports which I required to avoid the low power warning I would get when plugging a Verbatim 2Gb flash drive, and a Sandisk multicard reader into the unpowered keyboard port on my iMac running Panther (they ran fine when plugged into the mac's rear powered ports.) I needed the extra capacity to accommodate a printer and scanner as well as the flash drive and card reader. Unfortunately, in spite of having a power supply, neither the flash ...

A Thing O' Beauty
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Small footprint, USB ports on the front (unlike other hubs I own) which makes it easier to use and it's powered. It's purty! I'll be buying another one soon.
Cons: Nothing wrong with the hub at all. The product description should mention that it's powered though.

Works just fine - USB 1.0, 1.1 up to 2.0
I currently have 6 of the 7 sockets connected to different USB devices - some 2.0 and some less.
Each works just fine - even the 2.0 high speed micro drive.

Works fine, a few hitches
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Compact design, good throughput with USB 2.0 disks.
Cons: The users manual says that if USB 1.1 devices are plugged into this hub, the other ports will operate at 1.1 speed. So it seems that if you want USB 2.0 speed (a must for external disks) you should not plug USB 1.1 devices into this hub.

Really Great Piece of Hardware
I purchased this product about 6 months ago when I was fed up with all the cables I had to string around just to connect 7 USB cables to my computer. I had to use three different 4-port USB devices and daisy-chain them together (which caused me to waste two ports just in connecting them to each other!)
This product, however, did the same amount of work as my three 4-port USB hubs for 1/3 the cost, 1/3 the hassle, and 1/3 the power cables taking up socket space on my power strip.

Good, but not perfect
I brought this hub when d-link offered $20 rebate.
When I received it, I pluged my webcam, Wireless mouse, optical mouse, and USB 2.0 harddrive into it. ( why do I have two mouse? I like to swich hand once a while to balance out ) Everything worked fine in the beginning, but I start to encounter a critical problem after 20 minutes. Windows started to show error message that it cannot write data into harddriver, and the harddriver partition just disapear from my computer. The problem happens only...
