The chance of a disconnect is too high and could cause data corruption. Plugged directly into the same port gets me closer to 180Mbps.There are also multiple disconnects where the hub just drops out and reconnects. I bought this hub to use with my external hard drives.The hub provides poor performance in USB 2.0 mode with hard drives. The max I get usually is 64Mbps through this hub. I then get messages in windows about "this device may perform faster" (the usb 2.0 in 1.1 port message).There are 7 ports, but I'd avoid using hard drives or ready boost usb flash drives.
It is easy to mount or install due to its boxy shape. That would be difficult to do with some of the odd shaped units on the market. The hub works as described. We secured one with cable ties like electricians use.
2.0 -1.0 whatever.I plug things in and out, I don't eject things, and I don't even have the DC power converter for itI'm buying another for a different computer. nothing has ever phazed it. It is a Beast I plug so much junk into this USB hub. digital cameras, digital video cameras, external hard drives, card readers, trackball mouses (mice)., keyboards, digital video interfaces. Buy this.
AM ALMOST READY TO GET ONE FOR MY 2ND COMPUTOR.DICKSTER----------------- PLUGGED IT IN AND PLUGGED ALL DEVICES IN. BOUGHT ONE IN FEB. 09. HAVE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS.
I bought 3 of them for a USB drive duplicator I was making. The one thing I wish it had was some mechanism to allow for stacking such as clips or screw holes through them or similar I ended up wrapping my 3 hubs in tape to accomplish the job. It's what you would expect a USB hub to be. Works fine.
