Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Only USB 1.1 with some attachments Comment: Well, yes, it gives you four USBs from one. But like other reviewers I found the slow transfer speeds with camera, wireless stick and mp3 player annoying - that little message that comes up saying 'this attachment could work much faster...' can really get you down. I guess the key is to use it for things where speed is not crucial and leave the original USB ports for things that need speed. But you can buy better. Customer Rating: Summary: USB simplicity Comment: Easy to use. Economic price. Just follow instructions and off you go! Extra USB connections as quick as a wink. Can't speak for other operating systems, but works fine with Windows XP. Customer Rating: Summary: Does the Job!! Comment: Ordered a 4 port USB hub to connect web cam, printer and wireless keyboard. So far so good. Product does what it says!!! Customer Rating: Summary: At this price you can't go wrong Comment: It does what it says it will do, all I did was plug it in to the UBS with nothing attached and once the computer had recognised it, it worked first time. I have had no problems with it and will probably buy another one. Don't know if it makes a difference but I tend to have things I don't use regularly or which I don't use simultaneously on the hub, eg scanner, camera, pda, and the rest, ie. printer and broadband router plugged in on different USB's - why make life complicated for the PC Customer Rating: Summary: Very Useful Comment: Its very useful!!!!! only 1 problem is that if you intend on using many high powered things such as webcams etc then you will need a power adaptor for the usb hub. Sadly i havn't been able to find the power adaptor but i now have a new PC with enough usb ports anway :) More Reviews
