Digital camera reviews of D-Link DUB-H7 High Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Hub
Digital camera Review: A Great Product Priced Right!
Summary: 5 Stars
This my second D-Link Hub. I have only had this one for a short while, but installed the other one over a year ago. When I needed to replace another brand hub which was malfunctioning I never considered anything but D-Link.Digital camera Review: A Nice Product
Summary: 5 Stars
This unit works great--I have no complaints. Here's what the experience of buying this unit has taught me:
1) Spend the extra few $$ for the 7-port unit. I first was going to buy the 4-port version, but decided that the larger unit was probably a good bet. After I hooked it up, USB devices seemed to come out of the woodwork.
2) I put the unit on my desktime, tucked behind my monitor. I've found that it's much more convenient to plug and unplug USB devices when the USB ports are near at hand. Even the two ports on the front of my Dell
Dimension are less convenient, since the computer box is a few feet away.
3) If you plug any USB 1.1 devices into this unit, all ports will work at the USB 1.1 speed. You'll lose the USB 2.0 speed advantage on the other ports. All of my devices are now USB 2.0, so this isn't an issue for me. If you have older 1.1 devices, this may be a real pain, though.
Digital camera Review: A USB Hub That Finally Works
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't tell you how many USB hubs I've bought online or at Best Buy (something I'll never do again) that will work for a couple of months and then crap out. I wish I had more to say but the best review I can give is that this just works without issue. I have had one at work for a few months and I just got one for home. After this latest go around I promise I'll never buy another Belkin anything again.Digital camera Review: A USB Hub With Problems? Is this possible?
Summary: 1 Stars
I've had USB 1.0 hubs before and have never had a problem. This unit connected right up, but gives me errors when I put in most peripherals.
So far the only thing it hasn't rejected has been an HP LaserJet 1012. It will not allow utilization of several of my thumbdrives, all of my AC-powered external USB hard drives, and the D-Link Skype adapter. It also won't accept my Samsung phone or my USB TV tuner.
I would think that maybe it was a problem with some of these items, except that they all work fine when not plugged into the hub.
I'm keeping it because with the rebate it was so cheap and hopefully a driver fix will someday exist, but I am not pleased.

Summary: 5 Stars
I have problems with other brands of USB hubs before. This one feels solid. I am running a PowerMac G5 with a scanner, two printers, a wacom tablet, and two flash drives hooked up to the Hub. All my devices are working on it with no problems.
