I read other reviews before I got this hub thinking I would take an old USB cable and replace the short pigtail with my cable. Don't have this fantasy. from Walmart.com i have a laptop with 4 ports! i have a printer and a fax and a wireless mouse. from Circuitcity.com I use a USB cable from the back of my computer to the top of my desk and have it sit on my desk. I can then plug in several devices at once, except for the hard drive. To use the hard drive I have to unplug the 4-port and go directly to the hard drive. I'm impressed with Circuity City delivery, very fast. from Circuitcity.com Not to shabby for what you pay for. I got tired of always plugging, unplugging all of USB devices into my labtop that has 2 USB ports. So I bought the IOGear Compact 4 Port Hi-Speed USB. The only bad thing is the cord to plug it into the USB port is literally 1" long. from Walmart.com I have to unplug and replug the hub, and then my mouse works again. Other Thoughts: Might be a power issue, since I don't have it plugged in. And this is the GUH274 model. from Newegg.com it's a 4 port USB hub with a very short USB cable. Good for the laptop, not so good for a desktop computer. from Amazon.com Pros: This is a great 4 port hub in a compact size. It is definitely easy to throw in the laptop bag and go. from Newegg.com Bought this because it was cheap and it does the job. if you need a powered hub you can buy a power brick for this from iogear. from Amazon.com After I plugged in two flash memory sticks into this IOGear USB hub, the unit gets very hot after some hours of usage. The casing get so hot that I can smell the odor of plastic burning. from Amazon.com Pros: Small white power indicator light short cord, keeps it all togther matches my iPod LOL Cons: short cord gets kinked/twisted around sometimes Only a 4 port Other Thoughts: good deal for the money - and the 2 I purchased have not failed yet. :) Does not matter what USB device I have plugged into them, they all worked; and at 2.0 speeds. from Newegg.com
