Digital camera reviews of Belkin USB 2.0 Plus Hub (7 Port) F5U307-WHT
Digital camera Review: Best Hub Ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned many USB hubs (1.0 and 2.0) - this is the best HUB i've ever used. Looks great with my iMac too!Digital camera Review: Best hub yet
Summary: 5 Stars
I've gone through 4 different hubs. These looked good so I figured I'd try two. For the first time my workspace looks organized I needed 11 ports and this worked great. Stacking was a snap. Works like a charm. Should have bought these first and save myself a lot of bucks.Digital camera Review: Can't Handle External Hard Drives
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this hub for its great design, 7 ports, and reliable Belkin quality.
Unfortunately, the hub stopped working correctly after about 9 months.
-Computer will not recognize my Maxtor external hard drive when connected through the hub (yes, HD drivers are up to date; Belkin router has no updated driver available). I have to unplug and replug the usb cord. Now that doesn't even work.
-Hub used to get insanely hot. Now doesn't?
I THINK that the hub may not be receiving power anymore from its adapter. When computers have trouble recognizing external hard drives connected through usb hubs, that is usually a symptom of an un-powered usb hub.
Digital camera Review: Cannot Handle Load
Summary: 1 Stars
The device can not handle the power consumption of the USB devices plugged into it. If I plug too many devices into the hub, they won't start. I wanted a device for the extra USB ports to handle a printer and an external hard disk, plus the occasional memory stick and camera. The printer and hard disk were intended to be on all the time. If they are, and I plug in a memory stick, the memory stick won't power up. If I shut off the printer, then the memory stick will power. On most occasions, I have to plug and unplug/replug the USB devices in the hub to get them to work. The hub is connected to an iMac, which could also be some of the problem. Bottom line - the device is useless as a multi-port solution.Digital camera Review: Defective for the 3rd time since 11/2008
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought the 1st one in 11/2008. It failed in 02/2009. Belkin sent a replacement but I had to pay to ship the old one back.
Installed the replacement on 02/20/2009. It failed on 02/24/2009. After I complained, they sent another one with a call tag so there was no charge to me. Installed it on 03/16/2009.
Now the 2nd replacement has failed (05/18/2009). Same problems, running very Hot, loses connection, etc.
Submitted a complaint to the Consumer Products Safety Commission. Only a matter of time before one of these causes a fire for someone.
