Neat little hub
A very simple 4 port hub; three ports along the side and one on the end. The cord is very short, only maybe 2 inches long, so I don't see it working well for a desktop, as the hub would be dangling off the tower. The cord tucks right into the side of the hub when not in use for traveling. Works just fine so far, although at the time of writing, I've only been using it for a few days. No complaints thus far.

First time to buy an external usb hub. I use to buy the pci cards but what my girlfriend needed this would work just right. She hooks up sd reader and her keyboard and a couple of other things from the front usb slot on her G5. Item works as described and I always trust IO Gear with macs!!

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2009
Size: 4-PortVerified Purchase
This is a terrible item. It gets hot and after an hour or two it will suddenly stop working on some of it's ports. I see my USB disks disconnect. then they reconnect after a minute or so. They may stay connected for abother hour then disconnect again. Sometimes when you touch the device they disconnect. It's not the cable or the disks cause this does not happen when they are connected directly.

I bought this because the form factor was attractive. But I wish now I had read the reviews first as it looks like most people are having the same kinds of problems with this.

DONT BUY IT!!

The weak point is the cable coming out of the hub. It started to fail after a few months, intermittently disconnecting the hub and its devices from my notebook. Sometimes it reconnects itself by twisting a little bit the cable by turning the hub upside down, sometimes its not so easy. I'll need to disassembly it to check how easily the cable can be replaced.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Little USB hub
Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2010
Size: 4-PortVerified Purchase
A USB hub either works or it doesn't. This one does. Two pluses: 1) it is a snug fit so that it doesn't come out of the USB port unless you really want it to and 2) if you have an oversized USB device such as a Linksys USB wireless LAN adapter you can put it in the slot on the end so it doesn't block any of the other three USB connectors.

Good for the price. Decent speed, and it works with any devices. It doesn't take too much space on the desk. The only issue I have is that it could be a little longer. However, it does its job fine.

Reviewed in Canada on February 25, 2014
Size: 4-PortVerified Purchase
If this hub is plugged into a usb port in the side of a laptop, the hub will naturally try to sit on top of the keyboard. Take a close look at how the usb plug in is oriented in the product photo and mentally rotate that onto your laptop.
