i have an insane number of peripherals and purchased two of these from Newegg for my desktop. they seemed to work for about 3 months then began dropping and not recognizing some of peripherals that work fine when directly plugged into my computer. disappo...

7 ports ; powered ; small footprint

unreliable and unpredictable ; doesn't seem to have enough power to power all 7 ports at once ; won't recognize my webcam ; drops connections

has a nice design but only worked, with intermittent drops, for about six months. not worth the savings. find an alternative.

optional power supply ; low profile ; relatively inexpensive

loses communication with peripherals at times ; died after six months

Overall a very solid and functional piece of equipment. Especially at the price.

The base is very heavy and it stays in place well. I really like the ports on the top. Some people said they didn't like the little rubber cover on the top, but it doesn't get in the way ; It powers my external HDD very nicely, which is what I was looking...

it seems to splay the cables around my desk a bit as three come out the front and three out the back (power, line to computer, and the 7th usb port), plus the three along the top. It's not bad though
