Rating: - D-Link DUB-H7 Review
Works as advertised - Everything was supplied and installed on Windows Vista 64 Bit Machine with no problems.

Rating: - Be careful buying this one...
Plugged it in, right away I started getting shocked, next came the blue screen at shut down warning about USB Device, Called DLink, couldn't understand them, they couldn't understand me (don't you love OUT-SOURCING), they didn't even know what a hub was, kept asking me which windows I was using. Finally after them asking WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHOCKED? I just told them it was saying vulgar things to me and hung up. Never again, and I bought two of these. ;-(

If I connect the USB 1.1 scanner through a USB 1.1 hub, then it locks up about once every 25 scans. In any case, ALL the USB devices ... Read More
Rating: - One Complaint

I don't think that it is damaging to the hard drive because nothing is being read from it or written to it but I just don't like the sound of the heads parking so quickly. I still think it is ...

Rating: - Works fine.
I needed additional USB ports and researched USB hubs.This one got good reviews at a reasonable price.Most cheaper ones had issues that I didn't want to have to hassle with. I connected this as the main hub for direct use items like printers and external hard drives, and use my previous hub as the secondary for gps, bluetooth, flash drives, etc.I have had no connection problems at all.This also allowed me to have my wireless keyboard/mouse usb connection closer to my work surface.Because of free ...
