Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cables To Go - 29560 - USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Hub 7-PortCustomer Review: A solid product on multiple fronts Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned USB hubs from various manufacturers (Belkin and CyberPower were the previous two). I don't think there is such a thing as "the best USB hub" because so far all of them that I've tried seem to fail after about 2 years for one reason or another. My initial reaction to this hub is favorable for these reasons:
- Solid connections: Perhaps a little too solid (inserting the USB connectors required pushing a little more than I thought should be necessary, but its definitely a solid connection).
- Good power: The power plug on a previous hub was poorly designed and easily dislodged. This one is solid. This hub also has a 3A power supply so the hub provides plenty of juice for self-powered devices. Also the hub barely gets warm.
- Balanced: The hub sits firmly on the edge of my desk without tipping or moving around where other hubs would tip over if more than say 4-5 connectors were attached.
- Compatible: I have a broad range of devices: External DVD burner, external SATA drive enclosures, document scanner, joysticks, flash drives, dongal keys, compact flash readers, etc. All of them work flawlessly. Previous hubs have had issues with certain devices (the scanner most notably). I use the hub w/a Mac laptop.
So overall, I'm pretty happy with this one and will buy another one without hesitation.
