If you need 7 USB ports its more than likely you will need a powered hub. This is not a particulalry expensive powered hub and works well, but may look expensive compared to non-powered versions. I've been using mine for about 2 weeks and it's priceless as my ADSL USB modem is powered from it, as is my trackerball, FDD and multi-card reader. If, like me, you are using a laptop, a powered hub really is the best solution when you've got this many peripherals plugged in. It also means that I can take my laptop off the desk by unplugging just one USB connection. I'm about to buy a second unit as I've a few additional peripherals to connect, in total I estimate 9 items (MF-printer, trackerball, FDD, card reader, ext-DVD/RW, ADSL Modem, PDA, Film Scanner, ext-HDD) , which still leaves the 4 vertical slots free (for my USB pen and digital camera), plus 1 rear slot on which I will daisy-chain the hubs to maintain the 1-connection to the laptop. Of course if I decide on an ext-keyboard and webcam I still have enough slots on the hub. Being a stacking unit means that 2 barely take any more desk space than 1. It's quite frightening how soon I exceeded the 5-on-board USB slots on this laptop, then the 7 on the hub!
Neat and practical December 31, 2005

This neat and unobtrusive unit has streamlined the tangle of USB cables behind my Mac. With only 3 USB 2.0 ports secreted to the rear of the G5 imac, repeatedly switching a host of peripheraries was becoming impractical. As was expected, plug and play simplicity with OS X (10.3.9) so experienced instant comms with all devices when powered up. The two ports mounted on the top of the hub allow easy access to devices such as the ipod Shuffle, which is merrily recharging as I type. No problems experienced with power unit regarding over-heating; it was shipped from Amazon (27/12/05) with the all-in-one unit as described by another reviewer. Finally, after much Froogling, Amazon came in at a bargain figure for this device, especially when compared to the extortionate price at a certain out-of-town computer retailer.

This is an excellent USB 2.0 Hub, not only does it have 7 USB 2.0 ports (5 on the back) and 2 top loading ones for things like USB Pens etc. it also looks extremely nice sitting on my desk. It is also stackable with another of the same HUB giving you 14 usb 2.0 ports (for those who need that many!) in total as well as saving desk space and looking cool. It is backwards with USB 1.1 devices, and is completely plug & play on windows XP. Best USB hub i have ever had... buy one now!
The best USB hub January 11, 2006

The Belkin USB hub is a great accessory and is the best USB hub around. You get 7 USB slots of which 5 are located at the back of the hub and 2 on top. It looks really good and the two slots on top are perfect for USB pens or Bluetooth USB pen .etc. It has the ability to stack on another of the same hub, but who needs 14 USB slots I personally use the grove in front of the top USB slots to hold my USB pen lids. This product is a fantastic design and a must have product.
Very good hub April 8, 2006

The main reason I bought this hub (apart from the extra ports) was to accomodate some of my 'high powered' devices. With my old hub, which was a belkin also, I was unable to use my modem, my flash disk, my stereo and my game controller (individually) because the computer said the devices were too high powered for the hub. This was the case with my friends hub as well. With this new hub, however, I have not had such problems and as a bonus this hub is smaller and lighter than my old one despite it having more ports. Another great feature is the 2 ports at the top are spaced out which means I dont have to lose a space to accomodate my chunky flash disk. Altogether a very sound product.
