Customer Rating:      Summary: Just to add my endorsement Comment: I agree with everyone who gives this device 5* - had mine 18 months with absolutely no troubles. Worked right out of the box and has been trouble free ever since. I've heard other USB hubs have been problematic - if you're worried, then buy this one.
Customer Rating:      Summary: After Sales Service not up to much Comment: Seemed to work well then the unit went faulty, the supplier is very slow to respond and all return costs have had to be made by me. Suggest you buy from a supplier that has good after sales reputation as the odd saving is soon swallowed by postage/packing plus the time it takes standing in a post office que to send via recorded delivery. It's a fact of life that things may go faulty but the sign of a quality company is how they respond and resolve the issue.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Do not buy! Comment: I got this item today morning and 4 hours later I just printed the return labels.
All the external hard drives did not work on it, all says unknown device or storage diveci cannot start. The printer is just printing like split 1 page to 5 and printing on 5 page. And I could not find any support for it! So its rubbish! I plugged in my old Trust 4 ports USB 2.0 HUB and ready to buy a new hub for the rest of the stuff. BUT SURELY NOT D-LINK!!! :(
Customer Rating:      Summary: does the job Comment: just plug it in and you are away.
notes
* you must separate your USB devices into fast and slow. In my case fast includes external hard drive and webcam. slow includes mouse and keyboard. Only plug fast or slow devices into your hub. if you mix them, your slow devices will slow down your fast ones.
* it requires its own mains socket for power. (well it would - you can't get power for all 7 devices down the single cable that comes from your computer).
Customer Rating:      Summary: Worked out of the box Comment: No messing about, took it out of the box pluged it in and away it went. Wish all computer gizmoes were like this. Only thing is with 7 usb leads coming out of the front and power and usb lead on the back its a bit akward to find somwhere to place it with it being so small. but exelent piece of kit does what it says.

The D-Link DUB-H7 2.0 is a hi-speed USB 2.0 7-port hub that is backward compatible with USB 1.0 and 1.1. It provides an out of the box industry standard that allows connection of up to seven USB peripherals or devices to your USB ready PC or Mac. The D-Link DUB-H7 is targeted at PC and Mac users that are expanding the number of USB ports on their system.Designed to provide quick and easy access, the D-Link DUB-H7 provides seven type "A" downstream ports for connecting USB peripherals, devices, or other USB hubs. A single type "B" upstream port connects the DUB-H7 to the host computer or another USB hub, enabling up to 127 devices to be connected by cascading multiple hubs. Configured directly by the operating system, the D-Link DUB-H7 operates seamlessly with both Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh Operating Systems.As a standard USB hub, the D-Link DUB-H7 buffers USB data from any attached peripheral in compliance with USB specifications to provide an invisible extension of the USB bus. Supporting both low speed (1.5Mbps and 12Mbps) and hi-speed (480Mbps) devices, each port creates a bridge between the peripheral and host computer.Diagnostic LEDs provide port status for each port and power status.
