Digital camera reviews of Belkin USB 2.0 Plus Hub (7 Port) F5U307-WHT
Digital camera Review: Defective item
Summary: 1 Stars
Port on rear of the hub does not fit mini USB connector securely. I suspect hub can't be trusted to connect devices without cutting them off abruptly and possibly damaging them. Maybe it could work OK if I resorted to electrical tape to secure the connection. My impression is that Belkin put more effort into the heavy-duty packaging than into quality control for the hub. Unfortunately, I waited past Amazon's 30 day return limit to set it up so I have lost the $35.71 I paid. Waiting was my own mistake but I now know to avoid Belkin products in the future.Digital camera Review: Died after less than a year
Summary: 2 Stars
After about 11 month my hub started to shut off and on spontaneously, so that all devices are disconnected for a moment. At the beginning this happened not often, but it got worse during the last two weeks. Now it shuts off every 20 or 30 minutes. I can't use the hub anymore.
I did not have problems with the hub before (it was reliable, no heat problems), but I am disappointed, that it died after less than a year. This should not happen.
Digital camera Review: Does the job
Summary: 4 Stars
The Belkin USB 2.0 Plus Hub (7 Port) F5U307-WHT is the answer to the proliferating number of usb devices on my desk. I love my new Imac both for both its form and its function. But I dont love having all the usb ports on the back, and not enough of them at that. Now I can have my external hard drive, card reader, usb headset, keyboard, printer, and Ipod all connected at the same time. Yes!Digital camera Review: Does the job, helps minimize cable clutter
Summary: 4 Stars
I was tired of the cable clutter to my iPods, printers, etc. coming out of the front of my older D-link 4-port hub. I bought this as it has 5 ports on the back to keep cables of items that I have permanently plugged in (like printers and drives) out of the way. It is somewhat heavy and has non-skid rubber pads so it does not slide around on the desk. Additionally, it has 2 easy-access convenient ports on the top for the temporary use of USB key drives, digital cameras, and the like.
My only gripe is that it seems to me this hub could have been designed for more than 7 ports, as there is a lot of space on top and the front that could have been used for more USB ports. I always seem to get more and more USB devices, and I would certainly have bee interested in buying a version of this with more than 7 USB ports.
Digital camera Review: Doesn't look pretty but does the job.
Summary: 4 Stars
so far everything works great. it doens't look nice but it does get the work done. before i only had 4 ports on my laptop. but now with the hub i added another six and now i donlt have to plug and unplug the devices all teh time.
