D-Link DUB-H7 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub

DUB-H7 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub

Strengths: Compact size, vertical ports

Weakness: None

Out of curiosity I connected the hub to the computer rear USB 2.0 port without providing AC power to the port. WinXP recognized it without any additional software and all the LEDs lighted up. So I have it working without AC. A joystick, scanner, digital camera and a Jumpdrive are connected to it (Joystick and jumdrive draw power from it) and I don't have any problem with it.) I tried file...

Great Product

Strengths: Small size, light weight

Weakness: All 7 ports are on the same side, needs AC adapter

I bought this product because I had lots of products quite a few external hard drives and printers that I wanted to access from the same desktop. It solved my problem wonderfully well. I works like a charm. Does not heat up. And the price is great as well. However it has couple of downsides: (1) it needs a bulky AC adapter (that comes with the package). That makes it a wee bit less portable. (2)...

A decent product

Strengths: elegent design, relatively small (for a 7 port unit), true usb2.0 speed

Weakness: compatibility issue with certain type of external hard drive.

I have had this product for more than a month. Till now, it is working fine for most of the usb devices. I like the way the usb ports laid out, but the bulky power adaptor is a little annoying. The unit is very easy to install, no experience or software needed, just plug and play. The price, ofcourse is another pro for this product. However, I do find some compatibility issue with certain type of...

Some issues

Strengths: Small size, port layout

Weakness: problems with SanDisk flash drives

I did not have any problems with this device until I started using it with my Sandisk cruiser and mini cruiser flash drives. I can read fine, but when I delete files or write to the flash disk, the computer drops the device. I've used the hub on 2 different systems with similar results, both running XP Pro. Other devices on the hub with no issues are a Maxtor One Touch, mouse/keyboard, and 2...

Disappointed

Strengths: It has seven USB 2.0 ports.

Weakness: On mine, the power supply only powers the 'power' lamp on the hub, and does not power the actual USB hub ports.

The power supply only powers the 'power' lamp on the hub, and does not power the actual USB hub ports. Therefore, after installing a few devices, there isn't enough power to go around and some devices are not recognized. (I tested the power coming out of the ports, and there was none.) Perhaps I am not the only one getting a 'lemon.' I would think some of the connectivity issues experienced by...

Very Good Value!

Strengths: Worked right out of the box. Easy to follow directions.

Weakness: USB ports too close to each other. Too light(May be a strong point for some)

Installed without any problems.Works well and the directions for installation are easy to follow. It is so light that the usb cable lifted it up. I wish there was some stand included with it. Also the USB ports are too close to each other so it will be tight squeeze to use all seven ports.

Excellent Design

Strengths: Well-designed port arrangement

Weakness: none

This is the best USB hub I have used so far. It seems to be the only one intelligently designed, so all ports are usable. Every other hub I have seen has their ports arranged horizontally, so close together that if there is a Jump Drive or similar plugged into one port, the adjacent port is unusable. This nifty little unit solves that problem by stacking all the ports vertically, with plenty of...

DUB-H7 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub

Strengths: reliable device, fittable design for any silver lian-li pc case

Weakness: may be overloaded if used for charging devices like handhelds via usb port

This USB hub is one of the best I've ever tried. It works perfectly fine however you should watch out for using its ports for charging other devices with mini USB cables (cell phones, pdas, bluetooth headsets) because it may be overloaded.

DUB-H7 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub

Strengths: Very small; vertical ports reduce footprint of the hub and makes more ports accessible when other devices are plugged in; relatively inexpensive

Weakness: None

This hub works as expected without any problems for me. Transfers are fast and the ports are easy to access. The size of the hub makes it easy to place anywhere (I didn't know how small it would be until I actually got it).

Great Hub!

Strengths: Easy to install; reasonably priced; works with all my sandisk memory sticks and other usb devices

Weakness: None

I had a generic 4 port hub before, and suddenly 2 memory sticks (sandisk cruzer 256) failed to work! My 512 cruzer worked so I figured the problem had to be in the hub, not the memory sticks. I upgraded to the D-link DUB-H7 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub and everything works great now. Once again, D-link came through.
